I heard only songs about brunette s and blondes and wonder if there is any song about reds whell to be sincere a had a incredible date with a natural redhead and I was trying to search any song to hear on headphones back on train to highlight my mood
May not be exactly what you want but what about Red Molly referred to in Richard Thompson’s 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Bruce Springsteen has a song “Red-headed woman” on his 1993 album MTV Plugged.
Or so Chat GPT tells me.
Job for an agent.

Notes:
- Duplicates have been filtered carefully unless distinct live or alternate recordings justify inclusion.
- All lyrics and references have been confirmed using primary sources such as official lyrics, Genius.com, artist discographies, Setlist.fm, or interviews.
- A few songs like “Samson” and “Honey Jar” may be poetic/metaphoric but are widely accepted in thematic redhead playlists due to associations with red/cinnamon/golden hair.
My first thought, too.
Wow I,m so long time listening to Springsteen and never heard I will check out
Ofcourse not… far too complicated.
Thanks a lot
I just heard the Jolene song like 4 days ago on a cruise ship I never realized what I never get if Auburn is more like reddish brown hair or more copper or like a red wine
color find all nice nice the girl I had was defently ginger tone if she was a car color it woud be a orange Lamborghini a little paler but still not a Garfield cat red
I will check out all list and if any song matches great I may play it with her in the bedroom if you know what I mean
I think we all know what you mean mate. ![]()
