942 – Roy Orbison – Mean woman blues (1963)

Escrita por Claude Demetrius, foi gravada por Elvis Presley e lançada em 1957, mas a versão que escolhemos foi a de Roy Orbison, de 1963, que chegou ao número 5 dos charts pop americanos.

Foi também regravada por Jerry Lee Lewis, Cliff Richard com os Shadows, The Spencer Davis Group, entre outros artistas.

A letra:

Mmm, well I got a woman mean as she can be
Well I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me
She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah
Boy she makes ole Roy-oy flip
I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me
Well I ain't braggin', it's understood
Everything I do, well I sure do it good
Yeah I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me, well
She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah
Boy she makes ole Roy-oy flip
I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me, easy now
Now let's go one time
Well I got a woman (Sha la la la)
Yeah I got a woman (Sha la la la)
Yeah I got a woman (Sha la la la)
Well I got a woman (Sha la la la)
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me.
