Lyrics

I got a wom an mean as she can be.

(Bb7)I got a wom an mean as she can (F)be.

Some (C7)times I think she’s (Bb7)al most mean as (F)me.

A (F)black cat up and died of fright, ’cause she crossed his path last (F7)night.

Oh, (Bb7)I got a wom an mean as she can (F)be.

Some (C7)times I think she’s (Bb7)al most mean as (F)me.

She (F)kiss so hard she bruise my lips.

Hurts so good my heart just (F7)flips.

Oh, (Bb7)I got a wom an mean as she can (F)be.

Some (C7)times I think she’s (Bb7)al most mean as (F)me.

The (F)me.

Some (C7)times I think she’s (Bb7)al most mean as (F)me.
