Deceitful Brownskin Blues
There's a brown 'cross town and she's taller than a sycamore tree
I got a brown 'cross town, taller than a sycamore tree
That's the gal who walks through the
rain and snow, for to ease that thing on me
Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down
Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down
She get all your pocket change, she's gonna drive you from her town
Went home last night, found a note in my brownskin's door
I went home last night, found a note in my brownskin's door
"Daddy, Steady Roller has got your
room, man, you can't live here no more"
I been worried and walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet
I commence to walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet
Tryin' to find good home, mama, man, I ain't found none yet
Well the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
Well the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
I'll have one more drink, gonna drive these blues away
Lord, it's heavy-hipped mama, and the meat shakes on the bone
I say, heavy-hip shakin' mama and the meat shakes on the bone
Every time it shakes, it's some fat mouth leave his home
I got a brown 'cross town, taller than a sycamore tree
That's the gal who walks through the
rain and snow, for to ease that thing on me
Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down
Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down
She get all your pocket change, she's gonna drive you from her town
Went home last night, found a note in my brownskin's door
I went home last night, found a note in my brownskin's door
"Daddy, Steady Roller has got your
room, man, you can't live here no more"
I been worried and walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet
I commence to walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet
Tryin' to find good home, mama, man, I ain't found none yet
Well the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
Well the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
I'll have one more drink, gonna drive these blues away
Lord, it's heavy-hipped mama, and the meat shakes on the bone
I say, heavy-hip shakin' mama and the meat shakes on the bone
Every time it shakes, it's some fat mouth leave his home
