Red Bandana Lyrics - Randy Newman

Left Los Angeles a short while ago 

Flew 'cross the country back to Buffalo 

Walked around through the sleet and the snow 

With a red bandana on my head 

Saw my momma on 12th and Grand 

Standing in the alley with the junkyard man 

They were both so loaded they could hardly stand 

Talkin' 'bout going to Mexico 

I said "Momma I was born 

Out there I was born again 

Been clear to California and back 

Was out there so long many times I thought I was dead" 

She said, "Sonny what's that you got wrapped around your head?"

It's a red bandana 

It's a red bandana 

It's a red bandana 

It's from Hollywood USA 

Looked for the woman I used to love 

Seen her in a bar off the Harlem road 

Talking in a booth with Charley Hobbs 

And this ugly little dude whom I didn't know 

She said "Honey you're back I'm so glad 

When you was gone I was so sad 

You come in here lookin' so bad 

With that red bandana on your head 

With that red bandana on your head"

Yes! It's a red bandana 

It's a red bandana 

It's a red bandana 

And it's red just like your blood is
