Intro: F  Dm  C 
 
   F            
He said ?Hold on Patricia, I only tried to kiss ya 
    F               Dm        C        F 
She said ?Okay? and then said don't ya dare 
    F 
She seemed so badly shaken, He thought he was mistaken  
       F                    Dm        C       F 
But it sure looked like she bowed her head in prayer. 


 
Chorus -------------
             F                                      Bb    F 
(I heard her sigh) I am a Christian Lord but I am a woman too 
             F                                             Bb      F 
(I heard her cry) If you are listening Lord please show me what to do 
           F                Dm              C             Bb 
(I saw her try) I am trying hard to be what momma says is good 
F           Dm    C    F 
As I slip into my womanhood
-------------------- 
 
 
Shortly after midnight, she turned off the porch light  
and walked into her bedroom all alone 
She sat down and said well Lord, tonight I 've been through hell Lord 
Wondering if I did right or wrong

Chorus 
 
Slowly slip into my woman hood.  Slowly slip into my womanhood,  
Slowly slip into my womanhood.
