Born A Woman

(альбом: Downtown Country - 1967)

It makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Or if you're smart or dumb
A woman's place in this old world
Is under some man's thumb

And if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
You're born to be stepped on lied to cheated on and treated like dirt
Oh, if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt

A woman's lot is to give and give
And go on giving
A woman's got to love and lose
And go on living

Well, I was born a woman
I didn't have no say
And when my man fin'lly comes home, he makes me glad
It happened that way
Because to be his woman
No price is too great to pay

Well, I was born a woman
I didn't have no say
And when my man fin'lly comes home, he makes me glad
It happened that way
Because to be his woman
No price is too great to pay
Yes, I was born a woman
I'm glad it happened that way
And to be his woman
I'm glad it happened that way
