Black, Brown and White - Brownie McGhee/Blind Boy Fuller[00:00:00]
This little song that I'm singing about[00:00:13]
People you know it's true[00:00:15]
If you're black and gotta work for a living[00:00:17]
This is what they will say to you[00:00:20]
They says if you was white[00:00:21]
Should be all right[00:00:22]
If you was brown[00:00:23]
Stick around[00:00:24]
But as you's black[00:00:25]
Whoa brother[00:00:26]
Git back git back git back[00:00:27]
I was in a place one night[00:00:29]
They was all having fun[00:00:33]
They was all bying beer and wine[00:00:34]
But they would not sell me none[00:00:36]
They said if you was white[00:00:39]
Should be all right[00:00:40]
If you was brown[00:00:41]
Stick around[00:00:42]
But if you black[00:00:43]
Whoa brother[00:00:44]
Git back git back git back[00:00:45]
I went to an employment office[00:01:13]
Got a number and I got in line[00:01:15]
They called everybody's number[00:01:18]
But they never did call mine[00:01:20]
They said if you was white[00:01:21]
Should be all right[00:01:23]
If you was brown[00:01:23]
Could stick around[00:01:25]
But as you black[00:01:26]
Whoa brother[00:01:27]
Git back git back git back[00:01:28]
Me and a man was working side by side[00:01:31]
This is what it meant[00:01:33]
They was paying him a dollar an hour[00:01:35]
And they was paying me fifty cent[00:01:37]
They said if you was white[00:01:39]
It should be all right[00:01:40]
If you was brown[00:01:41]
Could stick around[00:01:42]
But as you black[00:01:43]
Whoa brother[00:01:44]
Git back git back git back[00:01:45]
