Subject: Lyr Add: KIMBIE
This is a version recorded by Jackson C Frank on his album 'Blues Run The Game':

KIMBIE

Kimbie wants a nine dollar shawl
Kimbie wants a nine dollar shawl
She wants a nine dollar shawl
And I need a mackinaw
Hey baby where you been so long

Baby where you been so long
I've been in that state pen
With them rough an' rowdy, rough an' rowdy, rough an' rowdy men
Hey baby where you been so long

Baby where you been so long
I've been in your state pen
And I've gotta go back again
Hey baby where you been so long

Kimbie let your hair hang down
Kimbie let your hair let it hang down
Let your hair hang down
And your bangs all curl around
Kimbie let your hair hang down

Kimbie let your hair let it hang down
Let your hair hang down
And come the morning, you know I'll be gone
Yea baby let your hair hang down

I wished I was a mole in the ground
I wished I were a mole in the ground
If I was a mole in the ground
(Oh that)? I'd tear, I'd tear this mountain down
I wished I was a mole in the ground
