SHORT HAIRED WOMAN by Lighnin Hopkins.

I don’t want no woman
If her hair ain’t longer’n mine
I don’t want no woman
If her hair ain’t no longer’n mine
Yes you know she ain’t good for nothing but trouble
She’ll keep you buying rats all the time

Yes, you know I carried my woman to the hair dresser
And this is what the hair dresser said
She said Sam I can’t treat the woman’s hair
God know, I can’t treat her head

I told her no!
Boy, if her hair ain’t no longer’n mine
Yes, you know she ain’t good for nothing but trouble
She’ll keep you buying rats all the time

(Wigs and rats ‘ll get you killed)

Yes, you know I woke up this morning, peoples, poor Sam
‘Bout the break of day
You know I even found a rat
On the pillow where she used to lay

You know I don’t want no woman
If her hair ain’t no longer’n mine
Yes, you know she ain’t good for nothing but trouble
She’ll keep you buying rats all the time

You know I went to get on the good side of my woman
Said Come and let’s go and have some fun
You know I went to make a swing out when a rat fell from her head
Like one from a burning barn

But I kust told her, I don’t want no woman
if her hair ain’t no longer’n mine
yes, you know she ain’t good for nothing but trouble
she’ll keep you buying rats all the time…..
