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
