"I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles

Rosie the Riveter (seriously, who wouldn't know that?)
 
Whoa!  Hold it right there, BUCKO!  A woman's place is any dammed place SHE wants to be!!!  LOL!

I thought I would post a couple of my other Ray Charles favorites.  But I forgot about the super-extra annoying line "she knows a woman's place is right there in her home"... NOT!!

So yeah, like the "Wives and Lovers" song that I posted back in July, this is yet another song from that era when misogyny was rampant.

Anyway, I first heard this song on a tape my friend Randy made for me from the radio program "The History of Rock & Roll" back around 1978, if I remember correctly.
