Miss Dolly Mae, Miss Dolly Mae

I want you to fix my baby's hair for me

Miss Dolly Mae, Miss Dolly Mae

I want you to fix my baby's hair for me

I want you to give her one, don't cope wit' no curl

That would last her about two or three week



I want you to curl it in the top

And have to curls hangin' down

I want you curl in the front

And have those curls hangin' down

I know my baby's goin' to be lookin' good

Lord, when I drive back in her town







Now Miss Dolly Mae, can curl hair

Better than anyone in her town

Miss Dolly Mae can curl hair

Better than anyone in her town

Now she have peoples comin' from Memphis

And other long distance towns around



Miss Dolly Mae, now please don't forget

I want ya to do just what I say

Miss Dolly Mae, please don't forget

I want ya to do just what I say

Now that I may get you to fix my baby's hair

Miss Dolly Mae, very near ev'ryday



Fare you well, if I never see you any more

Fare you well, if I never see you any more

Well now even some sayin' about Miss Dolly Mae

Way up here in Chicago.
