Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song about the woman I hoped someday to meet. Eventually I met a left-handed redhead, played her this song on our first date, and married her.

Song Description

A song about the two aspects of a woman that are supposed to be signs of the Devil all rolled up into one woman that I want

Lyrics

Left-Handed Redhead

Mama told me only two things in this world as rare as gold
She said when you found 'em, they couldn't be bought nor sold
One's common sense and the other's a redhead to hold.

CHORUS
I need a left-handed redhead to help me when I am blue
I need a left-handed redhead to heal me when the day is through
I need a left-handed redhead to make all my dreams come true


Now I seen a few redheads come and I seen 'em go
I seen a fire light a furnace in my heart to melt ten feet of snow
Yeah, a redheaded woman only bring me pain and woe

Now she can write with her left or her right, either hand will do
And she can have black hair or brown or green and yellow too
But if I want her, baby, she's a lefty with a red hairdue

Now you can say what you want, but you'll never be my redhaired gal
And you can cut me down, if you don't wanna be my pal
But keep your hands off my fantasies, 'cause honey you can never tell
