Parachute Woman Lyrics


Parachute Woman, land on me tonight
Parachute woman, land on me tonight
I'll break big in New Orleans
And I'll overspill in Caroline

Parachute woman, join me for a ride
Parachute woman, join me for a ride
I'll make my blow in Dallas
And get hot again in half the time

Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
Well, my heavy throbbers itchin'
Just to lay a solitary rhythm down

Parachute Woman Song Chart
  • The Stones recorded a track of the music into an old mono cassette recorder to get a distinctive sound on this.
  • Performed in a Blues style, this song is loaded with sexual metaphors.
  • Mick Jagger played the harmonica on this track.
  • The Rolling Stones performed this on Rock and Roll Circus, a British TV special The Stones taped in 1968 but never aired. A series of musical acts and circus performances, it was released on video in 1995.
  • The Beggars Banquet album cover was designed to look like an invitation, with the letters RSVP at the bottom. This is not what The Stones had in mind. They wanted to use a photo of a graffiti-covered bathroom, but Decca Records wouldn't allow it. This resulted in a stalemate that held up the album's release until the band finally relented.
