Townes Van Zandt
Short-Haired Woman Blues
I don't want no wom'
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
