Minimum required purchase quantity for these notes is 1. You know, I've scoured about every site containing the lyrics to this song and there are some parts that no matter how hard I try to hear the accepted lyrics, they just don't match with what I'm hearing. So...in contention with what everyone says the lyrics are, I am proposing my version of the lyrics. These lyrics are acquired by taking the mp3 file of the song and playing it back in an editing program and slowing the tempo down while maintaining the pitch. I slowed the speed down to 60% which made the lyrics much clearer...then in the parts that were still a little unsure I slowed it down to 50%. I'm 99.99% positive these are the actual words to this song.

DONNIE & JOE EMERSON - DREAMIN' WILD (LIMITED BLUE VINYL) VINYL LP NEU
I think that "Would You Believe" is my favorite Hollies song, and I was really pleased to hear "King Midas in Reverse" used in The Limey. It was wonderful seeing most of the group on the R&R Hall of Fame induction, but I was disappointed that Tony wasn't there. The Hollies were born too late, and on the wrong side of the Atlantic, to have visited a speakeasy.
Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. There is no question that Credence influenced the guitar riffs and even some of the vocal style on this wonderful song. The correct lyrics are available at leoslyrics.com.
About This Artist
These are the words I attributed to the song. I know THEY ARE WRONG, but I rather like some of them, especially the "beautiful song" variants. The song was written initially in the country/rockabilly style of Jerry Reed then adapted over recording more to the swamp rock style of Creedence Clearwater Revival, in terms of the vocal, rhythm, and melodic style.
Hi Jennifur, I was fortunate enough to meet Allan several times in the mid to late nineties, I worked in music rights management at that time and we became friendly. He was still touring with the Hollies at that time but it was clear that his singing voice was past its best. Very pleasant person, and modest in his achievements. This is such a cool song, especially that Rick bass.
Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) Lyrics
Most are the same as the accepted versions but there are some differences. I suggest, printing my lyrics and reading them along as you listen to the song. Anyway...this isn't meant to cause an argument, I'm just proposing this version after a long time analyzing the words. The Hollies singer, Allan Clarke lives close to my hometown and was once interviewed on our local radio station where LCW was discussed.
Because I could never figure them out.What can I say people,A "Hollies" Classic! ---She had it allll,Had it all-She had it all'-Don't you know... Since I first heard this song in 72 it was my good luck song. Over the years whenever I heard it I would get a jolt of energy and expect good things to occur.
"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" (also titled "Long Cool Woman" or "Long Cool Woman ") is a song written by Allan Clarke, Roger Cook, and Roger Greenaway and performed by the British rock group The Hollies. Originally appearing on the album Distant Light, it was released as a single on 17 April 1972 , selling 2 million copies worldwide, including 1.5 million in the United States. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1972 for two weeks, behind Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again ". Billboard ranked it as the No. 24 song for 1972.
This is my least favorite of The Hollies most popular hits. It surprises me The Hollies actually sang it. They have so many other beautiful songs this one really isn't so special to me. Clarke is credited as co-writer along with veteran UK songsmiths Greenaway and Cooke, who once recorded a cover of The Beatles' "Michelle" as David & Jonathan. The Distant Light album was out for a year before this song was released as a single.
