She told me as we stole away that she was freer than all the rest
With her hair cut like a farm boy and her cards so close to her vest
Just how much harm she could do me, no I never would have guessed
Chorus:
Don’t go chasing wild ponies
They’re half crazy and they run
Don’t go loving short-haired women
They’re gonna leave you crying
After thinking it was all in fun
We came upon a boomer’s shack, she broke the windows just because
And there along the railroad track, she laid me down, that’s how she was
With the first rush of the freight train, there was rain on the high summer corn
Oh it’s just a game she told me; I said no, "I am reborn"
Chorus
Mmm all in fun
As for her whereabouts, I hear she’s living in Baton Rouge
Giving all those Creole men the short-haired woman blues
Chorus
The short-haired woman blues
Met her on a harvest moon once upon a time in the Midwest She told me as we stole away that she was freer than all the rest With her hair cut like a farm boy and her cards so close to her vest Just how much harm she could do me, no I never would have guessed Chorus: Don’t go chasing wild ponies They’re half crazy and they run Don’t go loving short-haired women They’re gonna leave you crying After thinking it was all in fun We came upon a boomer’s shack, she broke the windows just because And there along the railroad track, she laid me down, that’s how she was With the first rush of the freight train, there was rain on the high summer corn Oh it’s just a game she told me; I said no, "I am reborn" Chorus Mmm all in fun As for her whereabouts, I hear she’s living in Baton Rouge Giving all those Creole men the short-haired woman blues Chorus The short-haired woman blues Explain Request ×
