I transcribed this from streaming archived audio from today's Morning Show on Minnesota Public Radio.

CLEANHEAD BLUES
Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson

Folks call me Mister Cleanhead, just because my head is bald. (2x)
But with the stuff that I use, I don't need no hair at all.

If it wasn't for you women, I'd have my curly locks today. (2x)
But I been hugged, kissed, and petted till all my hair was rubbed away.

When it starts to gettin' winter, my head gets kinda cold.
I try to grow a little hair, but I can't to save my soul.
When it comes to gettin' summer, I get such a pretty tan,
You can hear all the women holler, "Where can I find that Cleanhead man?"

Yes, they call me Mister Cleanhead 'cause I been bald a long, long time,
But I don't need to worry. You get yours, and brother, you know I'll get mine.

[From the album, "Bosses of the Blues, Vol.2," RCA 8312-2-RB.]
