I WANT A BOWLEGGED WOMAN
(Nix / Glover)

Bull Moose Jackson - 1947


I want a bowlegged woman that's all
I want a bowlegged woman that's tall
I'll fall in love with her right from the start
Because her big fat legs are so far apart

I want a bowlegged woman right now
I want to find me a gal somehow
She's gotta be built like an ol' bass fiddle
Big bow legs with plenty room in the middle
Gotta be on my way
To find a bowlegged woman today

(He wants a bowlegged woman) Yeah!
(He wants a bowlegged woman) Boy!
I'll fall in love with her right from the start
Because her big fat legs are so far apart

(He wants a bowlegged woman) Divine!
(A bow legged woman that's fine)
She don't have to be no glamour gal
But she's gotta have hoofs like an old bill bear
Gotta be on my way
To find a bowlegged woman today

(Instrumental Break)

I found a bowlegged woman last night (Yeah!)
And, man, she was really all right
She had a solid straddle when she came into battle
I jumped dead in the saddle, you couldn't hear a rattle
And there wasn't nobody there to run and tattle
Gotta be on my way
To see my bowlegged woman today
I say, my woman with big bow legs
