I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye I'll love ma baby till the day ah die Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town But a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down
