Sturgglin' Lady Songtext
von Little Milton

You know, I was taught to respect all women
But there′s this special kind of woman that I can't help but admire
And that′s that strugglin' lady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You might see her walking down the street
That strugglin' lady (that strugglin′ lady), yeah
She′s only out there to make ends means
That strugglin' lady (that strugglin′ lady), mm

Listen, you're not gonna see her in the welfare line
She′s got too much pride, she's not the begging kind
She said, "As long as I have my health and strength
If I don′t work, it don't make no sense"

I admire that strugglin' lady (that strugglin′ lady)
Just trying to feed her hungry babies (that strugglin′ lady), mm
Although her man might be gone, that hard-working lady (that strugglin' lady), yeah
She becomes the mother and the father of a home, that strugglin′ lady (that strugglin' lady)


Here′s another thing
She's not the kind that′s gonna treat you wrong
She's the kind that treats you right
And every time she touched something
You can always see the light shining through that strugglin' lady (that strugglin′ lady)

Just trying to feed her hungry babies (that strugglin′ lady), yeah
Strugglin' lady (that strugglin′ lady)
Just trying to feed those babies (that strugglin' lady)
I wanna feed ′em

She works as long as she knows she's able, that strugglin′ lady (that strugglin' lady), mm
She said, "I'm gonna always keep food on my children′s table"
That strugglin′ lady (that strugglin' lady)
And she work both day and night, that hard-working lady (that strugglin′ lady), yeah
She'll make some deserving men a real good wife
That strugglin′ lady (that strugglin' lady), yeah

Strugglin′ lady (that strugglin' lady)
Just trying to feed those hungry babies (that strugglin' lady), mm
Strugglin′ (lady), strugglin′ lady
I wanna take my hat off to you (lady, that strugglin' lady), yeah

Strugglin′ lady (lady)
I wanna tell you, you're a hell of a woman (lady, that strugglin′ lady)
And I love you, honey
Strugglin' lady (lady), I gotta help that strugglin′ lady (lady, that strugglin' lady)
Yes, I have


Struggling lady (lady), just tryin' to feed her hungry babies (that strugglin′ lady)
That′s all she's doing
Strugglin′ lady (lady), tryin' to keep food on the table (lady, that strugglin′ lady)
