Lyrics Short-Haired Woman Blues - Townes Van Zandt

I don't want no wom' if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
I don't want no w'man if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
Yeah, ya know, she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
Did ya know 'at? Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time

Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman
I told her, "Darlin', I's a-comin' to go have some fun"
You know, I went to make her swing out
When a rat fell from her head like one from a burnin' barn

I just don't want, want no woman
Boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
Whoa, ya know she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time
Yeah, you know rats and wigs'll get ya killed

Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman
I told her, "Darlin', I's comin' to go have some fun"
You know, I went to make her swing out
When a rat fell from her head like one from a burnin' barn

I say, I don't want no woman
Boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
You know she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
Did ya know 'at? Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time
