Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Curly locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks
Your daddy say you shouldn't play with me, but it's alright
Curly locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks
Your dad say you shouldn't play with me

The sun is shining, the breeze is a-blowing too
And all I've got inside me is lots of love for you, it's true

Curly locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks
Your daddy say you shouldn't play with me, but it's alright
Curly locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks
Your daddy say you shouldn't play with me

She's a lonely, she's a walking dead
I am a living man who's got a lots of plans it's true

Curly locks, two roads before you
Which one will be your choice, I really want to know, yeah
Curly locks, your father is a poacher
And he don't want you dealing with me

Thank you, thank you for the letter
You made me feel better, tee tah toe
That's the way it's gonna go now

Curly locks, two roads before you
Which one will be your choice, I really want to know, yeah
Curly locks, your father is a poacher
He don't want you dealing with me

Curly locks, two roads before you

Overall Meaning

"Curly Locks" is a love song by Junior Byles that explores the complexities of relationships and the societal pressures that can come with them. The song is about a young woman named Curly Locks, whose father disapproves of her relationship with the singer because he has recently become a dreadlock. Despite the father's objections, the singer expresses his love for Curly Locks and wishes to know which path she'll choose in life. The lyrics use natural imagery, such as the sun and breeze blowing, to capture the beauty of the world and the singer's feelings.


The song opens with the singer proclaiming "Curly locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks / Your daddy say you shouldn't play with me, but it's alright." He acknowledges that her father disapproves of their relationship due to his appearance, but he brushes it off and insists that everything between them is alright. The singer then talks about the beauty of the sun shining and the breeze blowing, but despite the beauty of the world, all he feels is love for Curly Locks.


The second verse describes how while Curly Locks may be feeling lonely and dead inside, the singer is full of life and has many plans for the future. He then goes back into the chorus, asking Curly Locks to choose which path she will take in life, and acknowledging once again that her father disapproves of him.
