Black, Brown and White - Big Bill Broonzy[00:00:00]
Written by: W.L.C. Broonzy[00:00:02]
This little song that I'm singin' about[00:00:10]
People you know it's true[00:00:14]
If you're black and gotta work for a living[00:00:18]
This is what they will say to you[00:00:21]
They says if you was white[00:00:24]
Should be all right[00:00:27]
If you was brown[00:00:29]
Stick around[00:00:31]
But as you's black[00:00:32]
M mm brother[00:00:35]
Git back git back git back[00:00:38]
I was in a place one night[00:00:45]
They was all having fun[00:00:49]
They was all byin' beer and wine[00:00:53]
But they would not sell me none[00:00:55]
They said if you was white[00:00:58]
Should be all right[00:01:02]
If you was brown[00:01:03]
Stick around[00:01:05]
But if you black[00:01:07]
M mm brother[00:01:09]
Git back git back git back[00:01:12]
Me and a man was workin' side by side[00:01:19]
This is what it meant[00:01:23]
They was paying him a dollar an hour[00:01:27]
And they was paying me fifty cent[00:01:30]
They said if you was white[00:01:33]
Should be all right[00:01:36]
If you was brown could[00:01:38]
Stick around[00:01:40]
But as you black[00:01:42]
M mm boy[00:01:44]
Git back git back git back[00:01:47]
I went to an employment office[00:01:54]
Got a number 'n' I got in line[00:01:57]
They called everybody's number[00:02:02]
But they never did call mine[00:02:05]
They said if you was white[00:02:08]
Should be all right[00:02:11]
If you was brown[00:02:12]
Could stick around[00:02:15]
But as you black[00:02:16]
M mm brother[00:02:19]
Git back git back git back[00:02:21]
I hope when sweet victory[00:02:28]
With my plough and hoe[00:02:32]
Now I want you to tell me brother[00:02:36]
What you gonna do about the old jim crow[00:02:39]
Now if you was white[00:02:42]
Should be all right[00:02:45]
If you was brown[00:02:47]
Stick around[00:02:49]
But if you black[00:02:50]
Whoa brother[00:02:53]
Git back git back git back[00:02:56]
