Nehi Blues

Some girls wear short dresses, and these married women wears 'em too

Some girls wear short dresses, and these married women wears 'em too

That's the reason single men, Lord, don't know what we want to do

When the proper judges make these women let these dresses down

When the proper judges make these women let these dresses down

Told that tremblin' soul, doggone, what you learnin' in town

Women tarry too long, pullin' this short dress style

Women tarry too long, pullin' the short dress style

So we single men can't tell a married woman from a child

Hmmm, Hmm, Hmmm, hmmm

Let me tell you boys what these nehi

dresses will do

Let me tell you boys what these nehi dresses will do

Get you broke, ragged, and hungry boy, then come down on you

All of you women, you all oughta be ashamed

All of you young women, the whole lot oughta be ashamed

makin' these old men naughty, when they're walkin' on walking canes

Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm

An old man ain't nothin' but a young woman's slave

These old mens ain't nothin' but a young woman's slave

He works hard all the time tryin' to stay in a young man's ways

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
