Black Woman Lyrics by Alan Lomax

Negro Prison Blues And Songs

1964

I don't want no jet black woman
Oh she's too mean, Lord, she's too mean
I don't want no jet black woman
Oh she's too mean, Lord, Lord, she's too mean
I don't want no sugar in my coffee
It make me mean, Lord, it make me mean (Oh Lord)
I don't want no sugar in my coffee
It make me mean, (woah) Lord, Lord it make me mean
I got a bulldog, 'weighs five hundred
In my backyard, Lord, Lord, in my backyard
I got a bulldog, 'weighs five hundred
In my backyard, Lord, Lord, in my backyard
When he bark he roar like thunder
Up in the clouds, Lord, Lord, up in the clouds
When he bark he roar like thunder
Up in the clouds, Lord, Lord, up in the clouds
When you meet my long-haired woman
Just bow your head, Lord, Lord, just bow your head
When you meet my long-haired woman
Go bow your hear, Lord, Lord, just bow your head
I don't want no bald-headed woman (why?)
Oh she's too mean, Lord, Lord, oh she's to mean
I don't want no bald-head woman
Oh she's too mean, Woah Lordy, Lord, oh she's to mean
Go on now!
