I can wash out forty-four pairs of socks an' have 'em hangin' out on the line
I can starch an' iron two dozens shirts before you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out an' do my shopping, and be back before it melts in the pan<p>'Cause I'm a woman
W-O-M-A-N
I'll say it again

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing<p>Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel Two
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was a-chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh
"If you don't gimme the deed to your ranch, I'll saw you all in half"<p>And then he grabbed her
And then?
He tied her up
And then?
He turned on the buzz saw
And then?
And then?
Eh-eh!<p>And then along came Jones…

I wanna know if she loved me.
Did she really love me?
Was she just playing me for a fool?<p>I wonder why she left me.
Why did she leave me so all alone?
So all alone.<p>I was gonna tell her that I loved her
And that I need her
Beside my side to be my guide.

When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me<p>So darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand - stand by me, stand by me.

Well, now, if I have to swim a river,
You know I will.
And a if I have to climb a mountain,
You know I will.
And a if she's a hiding up
On a blueberry hill,
Am I gonna find her, child?
You know I will.
'Cause I've been searchin'.
Oh, yeah, searchin'.
My goodness, searchin' every which a-way.

I never looked for trouble, but I never ran
I don't take no orders from no kind of man
I'm only made out of flesh, blood, and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble, don't you try it all alone<p>'Cause I'm evil
My middle name is Misery
Yes, I'm evil
So don't you mess around with me
