Richland Woman Blues - Mississippi John Hurt

Richland Woman Blues Mississippi John Hurt

Give me red lipstick and a bright poppy rouge A shingle-bob haircut and a shot of good booze.

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.

Stop at the fashion shop, get the one looks best Your own sweet mama wants a brand new dress.

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.

Red rooster says… [guitar finishes verse and chorus]

Red rooster says, “Cock-a-doodle-doo-doo” The Richland woman says, “Any dude will do.”

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.

Stop at the fashion shop, get the one looks best Your own sweet mama wants a brand new dress.

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn

Richland Woman Blues - Mississippi John Hurt

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.

Dress skirt cut high, then they cut low Don’t think I’m a sport? Keep on watching me go!

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.

Every Sunday morning, church, watch me go My wings are sprouted out, the preacher told me so.

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.

“Come along, young man, everything’s sitting right My husband’s going away ’til next Saturday night.”

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowing your horn If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone.
