[Verse 1]
EmWell that man over there says Amwomen
need to be Emhelped into carriages 
and lifted over ditches
and to Emhave the best place Ameverywhere
Well Emnobody ever helped Amme into carriages or Emover mud puddles,
or Amgive me any best Emplace
Emand ain't I a Amwoman? (Emain't I a Amwoman?)
EmLook at me, look at my Amarms
[Verse 2]
I have Emplowed and planted and Amgathered into barns
and no man could head me
and Emain't I a Amwoman? (Emain't I a Amwoman?)
[Verse 3] 
I could Emwork as much, and Ameat as much as a man
when I could get it
and Embear the lash as Amwell
and now aEmin't I a wAmoman? (aEmin't I a wAmoman?)
[Verse 4]
I've Emborne five children Amseen most all of them
sold off into slavery
and Emwhen I cried out with a Ammother's grief
Emnone but Jesus Amheard me
Emnone but Jesus Amheard me
and Emain't I a Amwoman? (Emain't I a Amwoman?)
[Verse 5]
EmAnd that man says
that wAmomen can't have as much rights as a man
Emcause Christ wasn't a Amwoman
Emcause Christ wasn't a Amwoman
Emwhere did your AmChrist come Emfrom?
Emwhere did your AmChrist come Emfrom?
from EmGod and a Amwoman
from EmGod and a Amwoman
Emman had nothing to do with him.
