Townes Van Zandt - Short-Haired Woman Blues Lyrics
I don't want no wom',
If her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine.
I don't want no w'man,
If her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine.
Yeah, ya know, she ain't no good for nothin but trouble, did ya know 'at?
Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,
I told her, "Darlin, I's a-comin to go have some fun."
You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell from her head like,
One from a burnin barn.
I just don't want, want no woman,
Boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine.
Whoa, ya know she ain't no good for nothin but trouble.
Vets keep ya buyin rats all the time.
Yeah, you know rats and wigs'll get ya killed.
Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,
I told her, "Darlin, I's comin to go have some fun."
You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell from her head like,
One from a burnin barn.
I say, I don't want no woman,
Boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine.
You know she ain't no good for nothin but trouble, did ya know 'at?
Vets keep ya buyin rats all the time.

Townes Van Zandt Short-Haired Woman Blues Comments
I never knew he played the blues...he can really bend those notes.
“I told him no....”
I think this is a Lightnin Hopkins tune. Not positive...but it's not a townes tune
it is a lightnin' hopkins song
You are correct!
short hairs are good hairs--just like bending" guitar strings--good
This must be about a specific woman
Never had a problem with rats...
i think rats are something women used to put in their hair to make it appear fuller. there's a version of this song where he explains it.
