|
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 met 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, oh black lady |
|
You better beware, better beware |
|
Better beware, better beware, better beware, better beware |
|
You better beware, you better beware, ware |
|
Black lady's out to get you now |
|
Better beware, better beware, better beware, better beware |
|
Well 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 all 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 |
|
And you know she won |
|
Oh black lady, black lady |
|
You better beware, you better beware |
|
Ware, ware, ware, ware, ware, |
|
Ware, ware, ware, ware, ware, ware |
|
Black lady, you better beware |
|
Black lady, black lady, black lady, lady |
|
Well she tried to fight it, she just tried to win |
|
Black lady, you better beware |
|
Better beware, better beware, better beware, better beware |
