Mississippi John Hurt - Richland Woman Blues

Gimme red lipstick and a bright purple rouge

A shingle bob haircut and a shot of good booze

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' your horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Now, I'm raring to go, got red shoes on my feet

My mind is sittin' right for a Tin Lizzie seat

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

I'd wait for fashion shop, and get the one looks best.

Your own sweet mama wants a brand new dress.

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Dress skirt cut high, then make it low

Don't think I'm a sport, keep on watchin' me go

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

The red rooster said, "Cockle–doodle–do–do"

The Richard's' woman said, "Any dude will do"

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Every Sunday mornin', church people watch me go

My wings sprouted out, and the preacher told me so

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

With rosy red garters, pink hose on my feet

Turkey red bloomer, with a rumble seat

Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn

If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone
