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
I'll make my bread in Dallas and get hot again in half the time

Baby

Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
My heavy throbber's itching just to lay a solid rhythm down

Parachute Woman
is a cassette track (i.e. recorded on a cassette).
- Keith Richards, 1971


Parachute Woman
... came so easily. I thought it was going to be difficult because I had that concept of that sound and wasn't sure it would work, but Mick jumped on the idea just like that, and it took little time to record.
- Keith Richards, Life (2010)
