Ain't I A Woman by Priscilla Herdman
Ain't I A Woman
[Verse 1]
Em Am
Well that man over there says women
Em
need to be helped into carriages
and lifted over ditches
Em Am
and to have the best place everywhere
Em Am Em
Well nobody ever helped me into carriages or over mud puddles,
Am Em
or give me any best place
Em Am Em Am
and ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)
Em Am
Look at me, look at my arms
[Verse 2]
Em Am
I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns
and no man could head me
Em Am Em Am
and ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)
[Verse 3]
Em Am
I could work as much, and eat as much as a man
when I could get it
Em Am
and bear the lash as well
Em Am Em Am
and now ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)
[Verse 4]
Em Am
I've borne five children seen most all of them
sold off into slavery
Em Am
and when I cried out with a mother's grief
Em Am
none but Jesus heard me
Em Am
none but Jesus heard me
Em Am Em Am
and ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)
[Verse 5]
Em
And that man says
Am
that women can't have as much rights as a man
Em Am
cause Christ wasn't a woman
Em Am
cause Christ wasn't a woman
Em Am Em
where did your Christ come from?
Em Am Em
where did your Christ come from?
Em Am
from God and a woman
Em Am
from God and a woman
Em
man had nothing to do with him.
