    Default I'VE GOT A WOMAN/Al Kooper

    Artist Al Kooper, distributed as B side of Easy Does it, Columbia Records,
    4-45243, 1970. Searched Al Kooper lyric site with no help. Does any one off any other ideas to obtain lyrics for this/and possible recording?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I got a woman way over town good to me

    Isn't this the same song, as Ray Charles wrote.
    Al Kooper covered it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Got_a_Woman

    Here's the lyrics:


    well
    I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah
    Say I got a woman way over town good to me oh yeah
    She give me money when Im 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 lovin early in the morning just for me oh yeah
    She saves her lovin early in the morning just for me oh yeah
    She saves her lovin just for me oh she love me so tenderly
    I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah

    Sax Solo

    She's there to love me both day and night
    Never grumbles or fusses always treats me right
    Never runnin in the streets and leavin me alone
    She knows a womans place is right there now in her home

    I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah
    Say I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah
    Oh she's my baby now don't you understand
    Yeah and I'm her lover man
    I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah

    A Don't ya know she's alright
    A Don't ya know she's alright
    she's alright she's alright
    Whoa yeah oh yeah oh

    You are very close, but there are minor word changes, and the tempo by Kooper is slower. Yeah, maybe not a direct rip off. Still would like to find the Kooper version.
    Thanks for your insight. I own a bunch of Ray, and should have thought of
    that one myself!
