He Made a Woman Out of Me

I was born on a levee A little bit south of Montgom'ry Mama worked in the big house And Daddy he worked for the county I never had no learnin' Until I turned sixteen When Joe Henry come up the river, y'all Lord, made a woman outta me (Yes, he did) Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yeah) I used to tease Joe Henry I guess it served me right Wasn't long 'til he left me Cryin' out in the night Joe Henry had his say He went and set me free I need tell everybody That the man made a woman outta me Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yeah) When I think back to that day So long ago I get a little feelin' on my mind Although it hurt me There's one thing I know When he left, he left him a woman behind (Behind) When I meet another young man Wantin' to love and run (Yeah) My mind goes back to Joe Henry James And the heck of a job he done (Uh-huh) Ain't no other man let me down You see I've been set free Ever since way back yonder When Joe made a woman outta me (Yes, he did) Lord, he made a woman outta me (He made a woman) Made a woman outta me (Yeah) Joe made a woman outta me (Uh-huh-huh) Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yes, he did) Joe made a woman outta me (He made a woman) Lord, he made a woman outta me
