I need to explain what I think Little Richard meant by "Bald Head Sally". Little Richard is an American Southern Black man and the women he is singing about in "Long Tall Sally" are also Black Southern women. During that time when he wrote the song (and even now) it was/is common for Black people to call women with real short hair "bald-headed"; and it was/is common to call women who were/are tall and skinny "long tall".

When this song was first written by Little Richard and Bumps Blackwell, the original title was going to be Bald Head Sally. I've heard a few rumors to the effect that the song is a coded reference to gay sex and "long tall Sally" refers to an appendage that's... well, long and tall. And "bald head" Sally refers to the same thing.
