Short Haired Woman Blues

Met her on a harvest moon once upon a time in the Midwest
 She told me as we stole away that she was freer than all the rest
 With her hair cut like a farm boy and her cards so close to her vest
 Just how much harm she could do me, no I never would have guessed
 Don't go chasing wild ponies, they're half crazy and they run
 Don't go loving short-haired women, they're gonna leave you crying
 After thinking it was all in fun
 We came upon a boomer's shack, she broke the windows just because
 And there along the railroad track she laid me down, that's how she was
 With the first rush of the freight train there was rain on the high summer corn
 Oh it's just a game she told me; I said no, I am reborn
 Don't go chasing wild ponies, they're half crazy and they run
 Don't go loving short-haired women, they're gonna leave you crying
 After thinking it was all in fun
 Mmm all in fun
 As for her whereabouts, I hear she's living in Baton Rouge
 Giving all those Creole men the short-haired woman blues
 The short haired woman blues
 Don't go loving short-haired women, they're gonna leave you crying
