Lightnin' Hopkins — Give Me Back That Wig lyrics

Lyrics

Give me back that wig I bought you, baby; darling, let
your doggone head go bald
Give me back that wig I bought you, baby; darling, let
your doggone head go bald
Yes, I come to find out this morning (God bless your
heart), baby, you don’t need no hair at all
Yeah, you know I bought you a wig
I say, «We're going out and have some fun»
I looked around for you baby and what did I face?
A great big gun
Give me back that wig I bought you, woman, please ma’am,
let your doggone head go bald
Yes, you know I done come to find out you don’t need no hair at all
Yeah, you know my mama she done told me, told me just
what a woman’d do Yeah, you know my mama she done told me, told me just
what a woman’d do Yes, «If she can’t get a wig from the store, she’ll come
'round and try to buy one of them things from you»
