  • Here comes, Dolly Dagger
    Her love so heavy gonna make you stagger
    Dolly Dagger
    She drinks the blood from a jagged edge
    Ah, drink up baby

    Been ridin' broomsticks since she was fifteen
    Blow out all the other witches on the scene
    She got a bull whip just as long as your life
    Her tong can even scratch the soul out of the devil's wife

    Well, I seen her in action at the players choice
    Turn all the love men into donut boys
    Hey red hot momma, you'd better step aside
    This chick's gonna turn you to a block of ice
    Look out

    Here comes, Dolly Dagger
    Her love so strong gonna make you stagger baby
    Dolly Dagger
    She drinks the blood from a jagged edge
    Right on
    Drink up baby, hey

    Yeah, look at old burnt out superman
    Tryin' to shoot his dust on the sun
    Captain comic is the man on the run
    On the words of love
    Do they ever touch dolly brown
    Better get in some highway and clear outta town

    Here comes Dolly Dagger
    Her love's so heavy, gonna make you stagger
    Dolly Dagger
    She ain't satisfied 'til she get what she's after
    She drinks the blood from the jagged edge
    You better watch out baby here comes your master, alright
    Watch out there baby
    Gonna give a little bit of that

    Dolly heavy mama
    Get it on get it on get it on
    Dolly heavy mama
    Get it on get it on get it on
    Dolly heavy mama
    Get it on get it on get it on
    Dolly heavy mama
    (Get it on get it on get it on get on)
    Uh uh yeah yeah Writer/s: JIMI HENDRIX

  • Tish from Toronto, CanadaI heard tell Mick Jagger gave that name to girlfriend Marsha Hunt (mutual friends w/Jimi) as a parody of his own name, that rhymed, as we plainly see. His way of showing off their couple status.
  • Joel from UsaInteresting to note the varied ideas on how Dolly Dagger was coined...
  • David from Port Hawkesbury, CanadaThe line "Dolly Dagger, she drinks her blood from a jagged edge." is a reference to Mick Jagger, at one of Hendrix's birthdays, Mick Jagger pricked his finger, and Devon Wilson, in full view of Hendrix rushed over and sucked the blood from his finger, refusing to get him a band-aid until the bleeding subsided.
  • Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScI think this song is also on the Jimi Hendricks album released a few years ago. I think the name of the album is First Rays of the New Rising Sun.
