Curly Headed Woman

Last Friday I was drinkin’ and a drivin’

Scratchin’ gravel on every turn

Just a drinkin’ and a drivin’ with my pay in my pocket

And my money was a startin’ to burn

I drives’ up the road a littler farther

And I stopped at a cro0ssroad bar

I saw a curly headed woman so fine and so fair

That she could have been a movie star

I stepped up and said young lady

I’ve got a little money to blow

Can I buy what your drinkin’ maybe two or three

And take you to the picture show

I buys’ her a double shot of bourbon

And I look into her icy blue eyes

And there saw the devil just a laughin’ at me

The devil in a neat disguise

We sat there drinkin’ ‘bout an hour

And she said she’d like to ramble with me

So we drove up the holler and we parked in the dark

Underneath a big white oak tree

I turns’ off my light and my motor

And I looked around to my surprise

She had a little 38 short barrel pistol

Pointed right between my eyes

She said mister well thank you for the whiskey

And I can’t say it hasn’t been fun

But give me every green back dollar in your pocket

Or I’ll shoot you with my 38 gun

She ordered me to vacate my auto

And she left me standin’ right there

I had to walk twenty miles at night just a cussin’

That woman with the curly brown hair

So boys if you’re settin’ and a drinkin’

With a curly headed woman so fine

If you ever see the devil in her icy blue eyes

You better move it on down the line
