There was a woman
In the bible days
She was sick, sick
Sick all day long
And when she heard
James Brown was passing by
She joined
The gathering throng
And when she was pushing
Her way through
Someone asked her
What are you trying to do
And then she said
She said
She said
She said
If I could only hear
The funk from his mouth
I could me made whole
Right now, right now
She spent her money
Here and there
'till she had no more
Money to spare
The doctors
They did all they could
But their medicine
Did no good
But when she heard him
The savior didn't see
Then he turned around and said
"Somebody just heard me"
And she said
She said
She said
She said
It was I
Who heard the Funk from your mouth
And I was made whole
Right now, right now
