Berkeley Woman
Key: GEnglish
Verse
I Gsaw a Berkeley woman Csittin' in her rockin' Gchair
A Gdulcimer in her lap a D7feather in her hair
Her Gbreasts swayed freely
With the Crhythm of the rockin' chair G
She was a Csittin' and a singin' and a Gswayin'
Her D7cheeks were red I Gdeclare
Verse
G'Twas hard to believe Cwhat my eyes showed me Gthen
GThe color in her cheeks was D7just her natural skin
She Gwore no makeup
To Cmake her look that Gway
She was a Cnatural mama with the red Gcheeks
What D7more can I Gsay
Verse
GWell I fin'ly realized Cthere was hunger in my Gstare
GIn my mind I was swayin' D7with the woman in the rockin' chair
But the Glady I was livin' with
Was Cstandin' right by my Gside
She saw my Cstare and she saw the Ghunger
And D7Lord it made her Gcry
Verse
So with anger on her face and hurt in her eyes
She scratched me and clawed me she screamed and she cried
Oh you don't give me near
All the lovin' that you should
Yet you're ready to go and lay with her
You're just no damn good
Verse
I guess she's prob'ly right Oh I guess I'm prob'ly wrong
I guess she's not too far away she hasn't been gone very long
And I guess we could get together
And try this one more time
But I know the wanderlust would come again
She'd only wind up cryin'
Verse
Well now you've heard my story as plain as the light of day
It's hard to feel guilty for lovin' the ladies
That's all I gotta say
Chorus
Except a Gwoman is the sweetest fruit
That CGod ever put on the Gvine
I'd no Cmore love just Gone kind of woman
Than D7drink only one kind of Gwine
Well a Gwoman is the sweetest fruit
That CGod ever put on the Gvine
I'd no Cmore love just Gone kind of woman
Than D7drink only one kind of Gwine
