I Got a WomanJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Renald Richard Ray Charles

Producer: Jerry Kennedy Shelby Singleton Jr.

Well... I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh, yeah
Said I got a woman, way over town
Good to me, oh, yeah

She gives me money when I'm in need
Yeah, she's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh, yeah

She saves her loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh, yeah
She saves her loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh, yeah

She saves her loving, just for me
Always loves me, so tenderly
I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh, yeah

She's there to love me
Both day and night
Never grumbles or fusses
Always treats me right

Never running in the streets
Leaving me alone
She knows a woman's place
Is right there, now, in the home

I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh, yeah
Said I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh, yeah

Well, she's my baby, don't you understand
Yeah, I'm her loving man, now
I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh, yeah

Well, don't you know she's all right
Well, don't you know she's all right
She's all right
She's all right

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
