Ozark recordings Laura Wasson (AFS 5392 B2*), Ollie Gilbert (MFH 914). WHY DO YOU BOB YOUR HAIR GIRLS? Blind Alfred Reed, Victor V-21360, issued 1927. Why do you bob your hair, girls? You're doing mighty wrong. God says it is a glory and you should wear it long. You spoil your lovely hair, girls, to keep yourself in style. Before you bob you hair, girls, just stop and think a while. Why do you bob your hair, girls? It is an awful shame To rob the head God gave you and bear the flapper's name. You're taking off your cov'ring. It is an awful sin. Don't never bob your hair, girls. Short hair belongs to men. Why do you bob you hair, girls? It does not look so nice. It's just to keep in fashion. 'Tis not the Lord's advice. And every time you bob it, you're breaking God's command. You cannot bob your hair, girls, and reach the Glory Land. Why do you bob you hair, girls? It's not the thing to do. Just wear it, always wear it, and to the Lord be true. And when before the judgment, you meet your Lord up there, He'll say, "Well done! For one thing, you've never bobbed your hair."
