vera johnson - you can't let your hair hang down lyrics

Loading...

when i was a little girl, the barber cut my hair
a short straight cut with a fringe in front
and the back of the neck all cold and bare
how i longed for pigtails or ringlets flowing free
but when i asked my mother, this is what she said to me

you can’t let your hair hang down
and go like that about the town
it just isn’t right, you’d look such a sight
you can’t let your hair hang down

when i married, then i thought at last i’d let it grow
i’d let it hang straight down my back
or i might tie it with a big red bow
when i told my husband, he slowly shook his head
and then he told me what he thought and this is what he said

you can’t let your hair hang down
and go like that about the town
it just isn’t right, you’d look such a sight
you can’t let your hair hang down

i had daughters + one, two, three, amazing how they grеw
i barely got them off to school when thеy
started to tell me what to do
told me i should diet and what i ought to wear
and worst of all instructed me how i should do my hair
you can’t let your hair hang down
and go like that about the town
it just isn’t right, you’d look such a sight
you can’t let your hair hang down

husband gone and daughters too and i was on my own
it filled me with delight each day
just to see how much my hair had grown
i went to the office, my hair was hanging down
the boss looked at me horrified and told me with a frown

you can’t let your hair hang down
and go like that about the town
it just isn’t right, you’d look such a sight
you can’t let your hair hang down

so i had my hair chopped off to fit me for the job
now when i see girls with long hair
i feel so depressed i want to sob
but someday i’ll retire, and when i’m old and grey
i’ll wear my hair the way i like and they won’t dare to say

you can’t let your hair hang down
and go like that about the town
it just isn’t right, you’d look such a sight
you can’t let your hair hang down
