Richland Woman Blues - Mississippi John Hurt

Written by：Hurt/John S

Gimme red lipstick and a bright purple rouge

A shingle bob haircut and a shot of good boo'

Hurry down sweet daddy

Come blowing your horn

If you come too late

Sweet mama will be gone

Come along young man everything setting right

My husband's going away 'till next Saturday night

Hurry down sweet daddy come blowing you 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 sitting right for a tin Lizzie seat

Hurry down sweet daddy come blowing you horn

If you come too late sweet mama will be gone

The red rooster said cockle doodle do do

The Richards woman said any dude will do

Hurry down sweet daddy come blowing 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 blowing you horn

If you come too late sweet mama will be gone

Every Sunday morning church people watch me go

My wings sprouted out and the preacher told me so

Hurry down sweet daddy come blowing you horn

If you come too late sweet mama will be gone

Dress skirt cut high then they cut low

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

Hurry down sweet daddy come blowing 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 blowing you horn

If you come too late sweet mama will be gone
