Richland Woman Blues
(John Hurt - recorded by Jim Kweskin)

Give me red lipstick, and a poppy red rouge
A shingle bob haircut, and a shot of good booze
Hurry home sweet daddy, and don't you take your time
If you wait too long your mama will be gone

Hurry down to the dress shop, get the one that's best
Your own pretty mama, she want a brand new dress
So hurry home sweet daddy, and don't you take your time
If you wait too long your mama will be gone

Red rooster says, "Cock-a-doodle-doodly-doo"
Richland woman she says, "Any dude will do"
Just hurry on home sweet daddy, and don't you take your time
If you wait too long your mama will be gone

With my rosy red garter, pink hose on my feet
My turkey red bloomers, they got a rumble seat
So hurry on home sweet daddy, and don't you take your time
If you wait too long your mama will be gone

Huh, hurry on home, now ...

Come along, young man, everything's sittin' right
You know my husband gone away till next Saturday night
So hurry home, sweet daddy, and don't you take your time
If you wait too long your mama will be gone
