recorded by waylon jennings and willie nelson

C F
funny a woman can come home so wild and free
G7 C
and insist i don’t watch her undress or watch her watch me
F
and stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
G7 C
just to lie down beside me and touch me as if i were gold

F
one night of love don’t make up for six nights alone
G7 C
but i’d rather have one than none lord cause i’m flesh and bone
F
sometimes it seems that she ain’t worth the trouble at all
G7 C
but she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

F
right or wrong a woman can own any man
G7 C
she can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
F
and leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
G7 C
fighting to catch his first breath and open his eyes

F
one night of love don’t make up for six nights alone
G7 C
but i’d rather have one than none lord cause i’m flesh and bone
F
sometimes it seems that she ain’t worth the trouble at all
G7 C
but she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
