A Red-Headed Woman Lyrics – Porgy and Bess
A Red-Headed Woman Lyrics
Crown:
A red-headed woman makes a cho-choo jump its track.
A red-headed woman she can make it jump right back.
Oh, she`s just nature`s child.
She`s got something that drives men wild.
A red-headed woman`s gonna take you wether you`re
White, yellow or black.
But show me her the red-head that can make a fool of me!
Oh, she aren`t existing on the land or on the sea.
Oh, you can knock me down
If they don`t fall for Brother Crown.
Oh, show me the red-head that can make a fool of me.
All:
Lawd, Lawd, save us, don`t listen to that Crown, Lawd,
Jesus, oh, pay no mind to that Crown
Oh, Lawd, strike him down, strike him down.
Oh, Lawd, don`t listen to that Crown.
Crown:
Oh, show me the red-head that can make a fool of me,
Oh, she aren`t existing on the land or on the sea.
Oh, you can knock me down
If they don`t fall for Brother Crown.
Oh, show me the red-head that can make a fool of,
I said a fool out of me!
A red-headed woman makes a cho-choo jump its track.
A red-headed woman she can make it jump right back.
Oh, she`s just nature`s child.
She`s got something that drives men wild.
A red-headed woman`s gonna take you wether you`re
White, yellow or black.
But show me her the red-head that can make a fool of me!
Oh, she aren`t existing on the land or on the sea.
Oh, you can knock me down
If they don`t fall for Brother Crown.
Oh, show me the red-head that can make a fool of me.
All:
Lawd, Lawd, save us, don`t listen to that Crown, Lawd,
Jesus, oh, pay no mind to that Crown
Oh, Lawd, strike him down, strike him down.
Oh, Lawd, don`t listen to that Crown.
Crown:
Oh, show me the red-head that can make a fool of me,
Oh, she aren`t existing on the land or on the sea.
Oh, you can knock me down
If they don`t fall for Brother Crown.
Oh, show me the red-head that can make a fool of,
I said a fool out of me!
