Subject: RE: Songs & Commentary about Hair
Sioux City Sue. My favorite song (as sung by Gene Autry) when I was in kindergarten.

Why Bob Your Hair, Girls, which for some reason I thought was called "Girls Don't You Bob Your Hair."

I remember a song (what is it? probably a 50's pop song) that started,

"Hair of gold, eyes of blue,
Lips like sherry wine,
Prettiest girl I ever knew,
And I'm going to make her mine."

Interesting ... when I searched for "hair of gold," I found one entry in the Forum for this song. It was posted by my husband, Bill D. He also was the first person I ever met who knew all the words to "Sioux City Sue." No wonder I fell in love with him.

Silver Threads Among the Gold. Hair color as a sign of age. I thought of "Silver in the Stubble" but that's beard hair.

Oh, and Tom Lehrer's "When You Are Old and Gray."
