#seelinewoman #ninasimone "See-Line Woman" performed by @NinaSimoneMusic Recording session: Live, July 2, 1992 International Jazz Festival in Montreal
my dad passed away 2 months ago i miss him a lot one day i asked where he was going he said he was going to see a see line woman it is because he knew i love nina Simone
My favorite part is when she says, Wiggle, wiggle purr like a cat. Wink at a man, then he wink back. The People Movers do a great house version of this masterpiece song.
The name of the song is 'Sealine woman' !! 'Nina’s “Sealine Woman” is a 19th century seaport song about sailors and prostitutes. The sailors would come into port (Charleston or New Orleans perhaps). Women of the pleasure quarters would be waiting, lined up dockside. Their dress c0lors signified the specific delights they offered. That is what the song is really about. Nina sang it many different ways, often changing the lyrics. Here are most of them. It’s a slippery thing, this song; the lyrics and song title always change according to who you ask. “Sealine Woman” - Nina Simone, 1964 Sealine woman, she drink coffee she drink tea and then go home Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in green wears silk stockings with golden seams Sealine woman, dressed in brown watch out fellas, she’s gonna get down Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in red make a man lose his head (or wears a rag upon her head) Sealine woman, sealine woman black dress on, for a thousand dollars she wail and she moan (variant) sealine woman, dressed in black sleep all day, on her back Sealine woman, wiggle wiggle turn like a cat, wink at a man and he wink back Now child, sealine woman empty his pockets and wreck his days make him love her, and she’ll fly away sealine woman, dressed in white stay up all day, ball all night, SSealine Woman” - Nina Simone, 1964 Sealine woman, she drink coffee she drink tea and then go home Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in green wears silk stockings with golden seams Sealine woman, dressed in brown watch out fellas, she’s gonna get down Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in red make a man lose his head (or wears a rag upon her head) Sealine woman, sealine woman black dress on, for a thousand dollars she wail and she moan (variant) sealine woman, dressed in black sleep all day, on her back Sealine woman, wiggle wiggle turn like a cat, wink at a man and he wink back Now child, sealine woman empty his pockets and wreck his days make him love her, and she’ll fly away sealine woman, dressed in white stay up all day, ball all night Sealine woman, dressed in yellow watch out girl, gonna steal your fellow.' - Music News" The real meaning of NinavSimone's Classic song, 'Sealine Woman'
Love it when she turns her back on the audience and starts dancin ! she was quite a diva met her around this time when i was appearing one night at the La Mamounia a plush hotel one of the most prestigious in the region in Marrakech Morocco (Jimmy Stewarts classic movie "Man Who Knew Too Much" was filmed there which costarred Doris Day) and had the privilege of performing and hangin out with her and she kept telling everybody that ""she is a star"
I very much enjoyed this, it brings back memories. I performed this in an all female band, I thought it was written by the band leader, had no idea how old it was and that the great Nina Simone sang it many years before.
Was this performance like at an awards show? or just like one of her tours? If so what awards show and what year? I live for the TIMELESS MISS NINA SIMONE! *round of applause!
Oui Oui ça c'est carrément la race noire qui est mis en exergue avec la tenue la coiffure et les pas de danse bravo bravo bravo déesse repose en paix le monde t'oubliera jamais jamais ❤
Gather here if you heard this song on Lady in the Lake.
Dora did that!!!!!
For sure I had to ask AI what song is that.
my dad passed away 2 months ago i miss him a lot one day i asked where he was going he said he was going to see a see line woman it is because he knew i love nina Simone
"Cuz I'm not gonna beg ya baby"
She is a perfectionist even when she asks the audience to participate, lol.
I can't believe many people is not singing at all. I would be singing out loud and probably dancing with Nina.
Duuuuude
@@sadimanesadimane6746 *Maybe they do not like the song, or they are not in the mood for singing, Remember we are all humans.*
me too
She did not want them too unless they really know how to sing or dance, lol.
My favorite part is when she says,
Wiggle, wiggle purr like a cat. Wink at a man,
then he wink back. The People Movers do a great house version of this masterpiece song.
My favorite is the start when Nina says:
"because I'm not going to beg you baby...."
and of course,
rhythms at the end
The name of the song is 'Sealine woman' !!

“Sealine Woman” - Nina Simone, 1964
Sealine woman, she drink coffee she drink tea and then go home
Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in green
wears silk stockings with golden seams
Sealine woman, dressed in brown
watch out fellas, she’s gonna get down
Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in red
make a man lose his head (or wears a rag upon her head)
Sealine woman, sealine woman
black dress on, for a thousand dollars
she wail and she moan
(variant) sealine woman, dressed in black
sleep all day, on her back
Sealine woman, wiggle wiggle
turn like a cat, wink at a man
and he wink back
Now child, sealine woman
empty his pockets and wreck his days
make him love her, and she’ll fly away
sealine woman, dressed in white
stay up all day, ball all night,
