Artist/Band: Connie Smith
Lyrics for Song: Born a Woman
Lyrics for Album: Downtown Country [RCA Victor] [1967]



(Martha Sharp)



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.
