Letra de Short Haired Woman Blues

Met her on a harvest moon once upon a time in the Midwest

She told me as we stole away that she was freer than all the rest

With her hair cut like a farm boy and her cards so close to her vest

Just how much harm she could do me, no I never would have guessed



Chorus:

Don’t go chasing wild ponies, they’re half crazy and they run

Don’t go loving short-haired women, they’re gonna leave you crying

After thinking it was all in fun



We came upon a boomer’s shack, she broke the windows just because

And there along the railroad track she laid me down, that’s how she was

With the first rush of the freight train there was rain on the high summer corn


Oh it’s just a game she told me; I said no, I am reborn



Chorus

Mmm all in fun



As for her whereabouts, I hear she’s living in Baton Rouge

Giving all those Creole men the short-haired woman blues



Chorus

The short-haired woman blues
