Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah
Everything, everthing, everything gone be alright
Oh yeah
When I was a little girl
Only twelve years old
Couldn't do nothing to save my dog gone soul
My mama told me the day I was grown
I'm a woman, oh yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, I can change old to new
Spell w o uma n
Oh yeah
That means I'm grown
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I know my stuff
I'm a woman, I ain't never had enough
I'm going down yonder, behind the sun
I'm gonna do something for you, that ain't never been done
I'm gonna hold back the lightning, with the palm of my hand
Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand
I'm a woman, oh yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crcodile
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
Oh oh oh I'm a woman
The lyrics of Taylor Koko's "I'm a Woman" celebrate the power and confidence of being a woman. The song begins with the repeated affirmation that "everything gone be alright." This serves as a reminder that no matter how difficult things may get, it is important to persevere and have faith that everything will work out in the end.
The song then goes on to recount a story from the singer's childhood, when she was told by her mother to "sing the blues." This sets the stage for the rest of the song, in which Koko asserts her identity as a woman and celebrates her ability to do things that might seem impossible, like making love to a crocodile or cutting stone with a pin. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a woman" and adds various descriptions of what that means, including being a ball of fire, a rushing wind, a love maker, and an earth shaker.

O si o si
Todo todo
Todo ha ido bien
Oh si.
Cuando era una niña pequeña,
solo doce años
No pude hacer nada
para salvar a mi perro alma perdida
Mi mamá me contó el día que crecí.
Ella dice: "Canta el niño del blues,
cantalo de ahora en adelante ".
Soy una mujer oh si
Soy mujer, soy bola de fuego.
Soy mujer, puedo hacerle el amor a un cocodrilo.
Soy una mujer, puedo cantar el blues.
Soy mujer, puedo cambiar de vieja a nueva.
Hechizo W O M A N, oh, sí
Eso significa que he crecido
Soy una mujer, soy un viento apresurado.
Soy mujer, puedo cortar piedra con un alfiler.
Soy mujer, soy creadora de amor.
Soy una mujer, sabes que soy una coctelera.
Soy una mujer, soy un viento apresurado.
Soy mujer, puedo cortar piedra con un alfiler.
Soy una mujer, sé mis cosas
Soy una mujer, nunca he tenido suficiente.
Me voy abajo, detrás del sol.
Voy a hacer algo por ti,
nunca se ha hecho
Voy a contener el rayo,
con la palma de mi mano
Estrechar la mano del diablo
hazlo arrastrarse en la arena.
Soy una mujer oh si
Soy mujer, soy bola de fuego.
Soy mujer, puedo hacerle el amor a un cocodrilo.
Soy mujer, soy creadora de amor.
Soy una mujer, sabes que soy una coctelera.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, soy una mujer.

I'm from the 70's and never heard this before the Cosby show, but I'm hooked now. It doesn't matter where you first heard something so amazing. What matters is how you appreciate it. I'm truly disappointed that I will never have the chance to see her perform. Every song this woman sang was pure gold!

I am Mexican and I greatly admire the talent of my country, but I must admit that the voice and talent of Koko Taylor the queen of the blues is unparalleled and it will live forever not only in the USA but in the whole world Koko Taylor simply the best❤👍
