I saw a burglar woman
G 
D 
swayin'  (G major) in  (D major) a rockin' chair
A dulcimer in her lap
A 
and a  (A major) feather in her hair
D 
Her  (D major) breasts swayed freely
G 
D 
with the  (G major) rhythm of the rockin'  (D major) chair
G 
She was a -singin'  (G major) and a -strummin'
D 
and a -swayin'  (D major) 
A 
D 
And her  (A major) cheeks were red, de (D major) clared
Hard to believe what my
G 
D 
 (G major) eyes  (D major) showed me then
The colors in her cheeks
A 
was just  (A major) her natural skin
D 
She wore  (D major) no makeup
G 
to  (G major) make her look that way
D 
G 
 (D major) She  (G major) was a natural mama
D 
 (D major) with the red cheeks
A 
D 
What  (A major) more can I  (D major) say?
Well, I finally realized
G 
D 
There was  (G major) hunger in  (D major) my stare
And in my mind I was swayin'
A 
With that  (A major) woman in the rockin' chair
D 
But the  (D major) lady I was livin' with
G 
D 
Was  (G major) standin' right by my  (D major) side
G 
She  (G major) saw me starin'
D 
and she  (D major) saw my hunger
A 
D 
And  (A major) Lord,  (D major) made her cry
Then with anger on her face
G 
D 
And  (G major) hurt in  (D major) her eyes
She scratched me and she clawed me
A 
She  (A major) screamed and she cried
D 
You  (D major) don't give me near
G 
D 
 (G major) All the lovin' that you  (D major) should
G 
Yet  (G major) you're ready to go
D 
and  (D major) lay with her
A 
D 
You're  (A major) just no damn  (D major) good
Well I guess she's probably right
G 
D 
I guess I'm  (G major) prob (D major) ably wrong
I guess she's not too far away
A 
She  (A major) hadn't been gone very long
D 
I  (D major) guess we could get together
G 
D 
And  (G major) try one more time  (D major) 
G 
D 
But I'm  (G major) sure wander (D major) lust
would come again
A 
D 
And  (A major) we'd only wind up  (D major) cryin'
So now you've heard this story
G 
D 
Plain  (G major) as the light of  (D major) day
Hard to feel guilty for
lovin' you ladies
A 
That's  (A major) all I got to say
D 
Except a  (D major) woman is the sweetest fruit
God ever put on a vine
G 
Still I'd  (G major) no more love
D 
just one  (D major) kind of woman
And drink the only water that I'll have
