Lyrics
Well, I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
Say I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
She give me money
When I'm in need
Yeah, she's a kind of friend indeed
I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
She saves her lovin' early in the morning
Just for me
She saves her lovin' early in the morning
Just for me
She saves her lovin' just for me
She loves me so tenderly
Well, I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
She's there to love me both day and night
Never grumbles or fusses, always treats me right
Never runnin' in the streets, and leavin' me alone
She knows a woman's place is right there now in her home
Well, I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
Say I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
Well, she's my baby
Don't you understand
And I'm her loving man
I've got a woman
Way over town
That's good to me oh, yeah
Don't you know she's alright
Don't you know she's alright
She's alright, she's alright

![Ray Charles Night Time Is the Right Time
Night Time Is the Right Time or The Right Time is a rhythm and blues song recorded by Nappy Brown in 1957. It draws on earlier blues songs and has inspired many subsequent versions, including a record chart hit versions by Ray Charles, Rufus and Carla, and James Brown.
Ray Charles recorded his version, titled (Night Time Is) The Right Time in October 1958. According to Brown, The difference between me and Ray Charless Night Time Is the Right Time ... is he had it up-tempo with Mary Ann and them behind him—the ladies [Charles female backup singers, the Raelettes]. I had mine in a slow tempo with a gospel group behind me. That was my gospel group. But he got everything just like mine, note for note. Margie Hendricks with Charles backup singers the Raelettes provided the accompaniment to Charles vocals. The song became a hit in 1959, when it reached number five in the Billboard R&B chart and number 95 in the pop chart. The song is included on the albums Ray Charles at Newport and The Genius Sings the Blues. Ray Charles Night Time Is the Right Time](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PuNzqDUvods/mqdefault.jpg)
