I did a Google search of the song title and this link came up:

http://pratie.blogspot.com/2005/06/s...your-hair.html

The man who wrote this song in 1927 was a blind man and he followed this smash hit up with "Why Do You Bob Your Hair, Girls #2 in 1929...Anyone know anything about that one?

Here is the song on a Tribute to "the Blind Alfred Reed":

You can really feel the anointing on that great old hymn of the Church.

Well, it wasn't written for the old hymn, which kind of surprises me.

It did bring me to tears.

Renda, that is an old, old song that has been around a lot longer than either one of us. :)

That song actually originated pretty much in my part of the country., the Ozarks

I thought this was a joke..... Someone "Caston-like" singing, but no, it is legit.

Right now, I am formulating a song in my head, to be sung as a rebuff.... Set to the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies.

One other point. I think he looks much better in the video -less stiff, then he did on his avatar photo.

I don't know what to say to that & still remain a Christian.

I can say this though, have they ever heard of proper lighting?

That southern drawl reminds me of PO somehow?:hmmm

What happened?? I was listening to the video and it went off- I went back to boot it up and it said it was no longer available!!!!!! Did I break it? I do have to say that what I saw and heard was priceless.

I listened up to 1 minute 54 seconds. I couldn't stand the torture any longer.

Somebody give him money for voice lessons. Dora, here's a prospective new student for you. :D

Re: A SONG FOR RENDA - - By Caston Smith
 
Has anyone noticed how the men are the ones who are usually standing around talking more after church?

What about a song called, "Why do you flap your lips, boys? Why do you flap your lips"?....Some might even use the terms, "Why do you flap your jaws" or Why do you flap your mouth? Anyone feeling creative?

You don't "see" Caston - he's the moving white shirt. That's his cousin playing the keyboard.

Here are the words:

WHY BOB YOUR HAIR, GIRLS

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
You're doing mighty wrong;
God gave it for a glory
And you should wear it long .
You spoil your lovely hair, girls,
You keep yourself in style;
Before you bob your hair, girls,
Just stop and think a while.

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
It is an awful shame
To rob the head God gave you
And bear the flapper's name.
You're taking off your covering,
It is an awful sin;
Don't never bob your hair, girls,
Short hair belongs to men.

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
It does not look so nice;
It's just to be in fashion,
lt's not the Lord's advice.
And every time you bob it
You're breaking God's command
You cannot bob your hair, girls
And reach the Glory land.

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
It's not the thing to do;
Just wear it, always wear it,
And to your Lord be true.
And when before the judgment
You meet your Lord up there,
He'll say, "Well done, for one thing,
You never bobbed your hair.

From Ozark Folksongs, Randolph.
Collected from Laura Wasson, Ark., 1942
Note: Written by Blind Alfred Reed and recorded by him in 1927.
