“Short Haired Woman” is the third track off Too Bad Jim album.
It’s an interpretation of the Lightnin' Hopkins song with the same name.
Everything in both songs is the same except for the third verse, that it’s changed on R.L.Burnside’s version.
[Verse 1]
I don't want no woman
If her hair ain't no longer than mine
I don't want no woman
If her hair ain't no longer than mine
[Chorus]
Yes, you know, she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
That keep you buyin' rats all the time
[Verse 2]
Yes, you know I care no why to the hairdresser
And this what the woman said
On real I can't [?] this woman here
God knows I can treat her hair, I told her no
If her hair ain't no longer than mine
[Chorus]
Yes, you know, she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
That keep you buyin' rats all the time
[Verse 3]
Yeah I took my love and ran out one night
Said baby let's have some fun
Told momma fell out of [?] like one [?]
Botton down bun you know I [?]
Never had no [?]
[Chorus]
Yeah, you know, she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
That keep you buyin' rats all the time
