about

Mississippi John Hurt gave us this song about a married woman. Her husband’s away. She’s all dressed up and her “sugar daddy’s come round to take her out in his “Tin Lizzie,” show her a good time and buy her a new dress. Meanwhile, she’s the life and soul of the church congregation.

lyrics

She’s wearin’ red lipstick and a bright purple roughe
A shingle bob haircut and a shot of good booze

Refrain
Hurry down sweet daddy, come blowin’ your horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Come along young fella, everything settin’ right
Husband’s gone away till next Saturday night
[Refrain]

She’s raring to go, got red shoes on her feet
Her mind’s sittin’ right for Tin Lizzie’s seat
[refrain]

Red rooster says, “Cockle doodle do do.”
Rich woman says, “Any dude will do”
[refrain]

With rosy red garters, pink hose on her feet
Turkey red bloomer, with a rumble seat
[refrain]

Stop at the fashion shop, pick the one looks best?
This red hot mama wants a brand new dress
[refrain]

Every Sunday mornin’ down to church she goes
Wings sprouted out, the preacher told her so
[refrain]

Dress skirt cut high, neck line cut low
Don’t think her a sport, keep on watchin’ her go
[refrain]
