Dolly Dagger
Jimi Hendrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of "Dolly Dagger" by Jimi Hendrix are about a woman who has a powerful and overwhelming love that can make men weak in the knees. Dolly is portrayed as a seductive and dangerous woman who has been riding broomsticks since she was 15 and can scratch the soul out of the devil's wife with her tongue. She's like a femme fatale who has the power to turn men into "donut boys" and even make them feel like they're turning into a block of ice. The song suggests that Dolly is a force to be reckoned with and can make any man fall to their knees and beg for more.
The lyrics of "Dolly Dagger" can be interpreted as a critique of the manipulative power of women. Hendrix portrays Dolly as a seductress who can control men with her sexuality and make them do whatever she wants. The lyrics also suggest that men are powerless in the face of Dolly's love and that they are unable to resist her charms. The song is a warning to men to watch out for women like Dolly because they can be dangerous and manipulative.
