All that we know about this early Lennon – McCartney song is its title mentioned by Mark Lewisohn.
From Early Beatles Songs:
No recording is known of “That’s My Woman”, a song which has barely been mentioned over the years. Indeed, we do not know which of the songwriting Beatles came up with the tune. Mark Lewisohn mentions it in The Complete Beatles Chronicle, giving it as a Quarry Men track by “Lennon-McCartney”, performed live at some point between 1957 and 1959 – and that’s it. (He mentions it again in The Beatles: Tune In but without adding anything further.)
It’s just we all used to sag off every school day. You know, and go back to my house, and the two of us would just sit there and write. There’s a lot from then, you know? There’s about 100 songs from then that we never reckoned, ’cause they were all very unsophisticated songs.
