| It was bad, really mean
|
| She had the kind of reputation to make any woman scream
|
| Late one night, when it wasn’t right
|
| And he made a catch, and he meets his match
|
| Black lady, black lady
|
| She was mean, really bad
|
| She was slender as a cat at night, she made the men go mad
|
| Well her eyes were green, and her skin was soft
|
| And the lady’s heart was as hard as rock
|
| Black lady, black lady
|
| You better beware, you better beware, you better beware
|
| He tried to fight it, tried to win
|
| But no matter where the poor man turned, the lady halted him
|
| Her wish was his command, his life in her hands
|
| And the death was slow, 'cause she won’t let go
|
| Oh, Black lady, that black lady
|
| She tried to win, tried to buy
|
| She was out over him, 'cause he played all the cards just right
|
| He laid out his hand like a winning man
|
| With a smile so deep, she put him into a sleep
|
| You know she won
|
| Black lady, black lady
|
| You better beware, you better beware
|
| Black lady, you better beware
|
| Black lady, black lady, black lady |
