Curly Headed Baby: Lyrics

Traditional

• CD Songs Of Woody Guthrie
• CD The Greatest Songs Of Woody Guthrie

Well, she's my curly headed baby
Used to sit on daddy's knee
She's my curly headed baby
And she comes from sunny Tennessee

I have loved her since I met her
She is all the world to me
She's my curly headed baby
And she comes from sunny Tennessee

Well, I'm a-gonna tell about these women
I'm a-gonna tell you what they'll do
They'll hang their head on your shoulder
And they'll flirt around with another two

I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun refused to shine
Than to see you with another
Darling when you promised you'd be mine

Well I was happy when I kissed her
And she gave her love to me
She is the prettiest little baby
That ever fell in love with me

Yes she's my curly headed baby
And I hope someday to be
Walking by her side forever
Way down in sunny Tennessee
