Alberta #1 Lyrics

Alberta let your hair hang low
Alberta let your hair hang low
I'll give you more gold
Than your apron can hold
If you'd only let your hair hang low

Alberta what's on your mind
Alberta what's on your mind
You keep me worried and bothered
All of the time
Alberta what's on your mind

Alberta don't you treat me unkind
Alberta don't you treat me unkind
Oh my heart is so sad
Cause I want you so bad
Alberta don't you treat me unkind

Alberta let your hair hang low
Alberta let your hair hang low
I'll give you more gold
Than your apron can hold
If you'll only let your hair hang low

Cover art for Alberta #1 lyrics by Bob Dylan

A simple song that seems very juvenile... not in a bad way, but a good way. Purposely kid-like, not accidently badly-written or anything. It's like a kid who loves a girl and he just has this vision of how good she would look with long hair.

Cover art for Alberta #1 lyrics by Bob Dylan

I always thought it was about the cold war.

Not sure where the gold and the apron come into that whole equation, but I'm sure someone could draw up something.

Is this based on an old Leadbelly song? He himself did about 3 different versions of it...
