I'VE GOT A WOMAN/Al Kooper

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!
