Lyrics Andrew Bird – Richmond Woman
Text:
Give her a red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
A new bob haircut and a shot of good booze
her/(hurry?) down-sweet daddy, I’m blowing your horn
oh if you come too late
come along young man, everything’s sitting right here
my husband’s gone away till next Saturday night
her/(hurry?) down-sweet daddy, I’m blowing your horn
oh if you come too late
no no, your mama’ will be gone
I’m round-a-go, red shoes on my feet
got my mind set right for ten years at sea
her/(hurry?) down-sweet daddy, I’m blowing your horn
if you come too late
no no, your mama’ will be gone
yeah cause the red rooster says «cock-a-doodle do do»
the wishing woman says «and a doodle do»
her/(hurry?) down-sweet daddy, I’m blowing your horn
if you come too late
no no, your mama’ will be gone
one more time
red rooster says «cock-a-doodle do do»
the wishing woman says «and a doodle do»
her/(hurry?) down-sweet daddy, I’m blowing your horn
if you come too late
no no, your mama’ will be gone
if you come too late
your mama’ will be gone
