Lyrics:
I don't want no bald headed woman,
She too mean, lord, lordy well she too mean
I don't want no bald headed woman,
She too mean, lord, lordy well she too mean

I don't want no sugar in my coffee,
Make me mean lord, lordy well it make me mean
I don't want no sugar in my coffee,
Make me mean lord, lordy well it make me mean

I got a bulldog he weigh five hundred
In my back yard lord, lordy in my back yard
When he bark he call like thunder,
In my back yard well, lordy in my back yard I don't want no cold iron shackles
'Round my legs, lord, lordy well a round my legs.
I don't want no cold iron shackles
'Round my legs, lord, lordy well a round my legs. If you see my long haired woman,
Better bow your head, lord, lordy well a bow your head
If you see my long haired woman,
Better bow your head, lord, lordy well a bow your head
