New Short-Haired Woman - Lighnin' Hopkins

I don’t want no wom’n,

If her hair it ain’t no longer 'an mine

I don’t want no w’man,

If her hair it ain’t no longer 'an mine

Yeah, ya know, she ain’t no good for nothin' but trouble,

Did ya know 'at?

Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time

Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,

I told her, «Darlin', I’s a-comin' to go have some fun»

You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell

From her head like,

One from a burnin' barn

I just don’t want, want no woman,

Boy, if her hair it ain’t no longer 'an mine

Whoa, ya know she ain’t no good for nothin' but trouble

Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time

Yeah, you know rats and wigs’ll get ya killed

Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,

I told her, «Darlin', I’s comin' to go have some fun»

You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell

From her head like,

One from a burnin' barn

I say, I don’t want no woman,

Boy, if her hair it ain’t no longer 'an mine

You know she ain’t no good for nothin' but trouble, did

Ya know 'at?

Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time
