The Guess Who "American Woman"

The Guess Who perform "American Woman" live in Toronto.

American Woman, stay away from me
American Woman, mama let me be
Don't come a hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now Woman, I said stay away
American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay


American Woman, get away from me
American Woman, mama let me be
Don't come a knockin' around my door
Don't wanna see your shadow no more
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now Woman, I said get away
American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay


American Woman, said get away
American Woman, listen what I say
Don't come a hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now Woman, get away from me
American Woman, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go
I'm gonna leave you woman
Gonna leave you woman
Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go-o, woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American Woman
Goodbye American chick

@miimeowjess Really, Jessica, as an American woman, you should be thinking of this in the same way as I am. This was an anti war song written during the Vietnam war and is very anti marines as well as anti American so if you want to call ME an asshole you go ahead, but you're missing the entire point. I'm an American with Marines as friends and they'll let me put them on their heads whenever I want.

3:45 It would be doing his fans a disservice if he didn’t play the hell out of the cow bell!

@TrinhTom AND....you would be so right! Most awesome band we Canadians have ever produced! Just a little prejudiced being a western Canadian myslef!

[TheToastmlt]

I was only 11 at the time this song came out. but talk about grab ya! Ane yes, anti Vietnam war and depicts the drug use while the troops were there...not only Americans, but Canadians, French and everone else who fought! God Bless The Most Canadian Band Ever...The Guess Who!!!

[TrinhTom]

This is the only group that should sing this song.All the others are just imitations.

@miimeowjess 'tard... the lyrics to American Woman are from the of the perspective of small-town, Canadian country-bumpkin going American big cities. It's from a small town conservative perspective. You're retarded, and you should know better since all

American small-town folk hate the people from the big cities because they're too liberal and don't have sticks up their asses like the people from the so-called "real" america

@midsizedwhiteboy It is a dart(ciggi)..... some people still roll them themselves still today, that's what Zig Zags are supposed to be used for.... lol

[dsparry08]

amazing that Burton Cummings can chain smoke Kool's and still hit all the high notes that he does in the studio..no wonder Robert Plant cites Burton as his favorite rock vocalist....D
