Brown Betty
You sick?
No, I ain't sick
Brown-legged woman put a spell on me
Oh, brown Betty
Time you forget about Sofia
She not coming back
She chop me down like an old oak tree
Don't matter if she
Big-legged (big-legged)
Brown-eyed (brown-eyed)
Big-eyed (big-eyed)
Brown-legged (brown-legged)
Whatever she done
That girl sho was fine
What y'all building here?
Jukejoint
Huh, y'all need a waitress?
Sure do
Be done a week from today
You come back then
Uh, alright then, I will
Got my outfit, already
You like yellow?
My name's Squeak. Ah ha ha ha ha
Gonna make you holler like a wild cat do
Oh, brown Betty
When I throw my mojo down on you
Don't matter if she
Big-legged (big-legged)
Brown-eyed (brown-eyed)
Big-eyed (big-eyed)
Brown-legged (brown-legged)
Whatever she is
That girl sho is fine
Whatever she is
That girl sho is fine (sure is fine)
Huh!
Who gon' sing at your jukejoint?
Whoever want to, I guess
I always wanted to sing
What you sing about?
Being skinny?
Well, you get Shug Avery to come sing here
You'd make a lot of money
She coming to town, you know?
Everybody getting ready to lock up they mens
My momma say
Uh-huh
Is it true her daddy the preacher?
Only he don't speak to her no more
On account of her having all them babies
And never marrying they daddy
Who their daddy?
You know?
He my daddy, I think
Only his daddy wouldn't let him marry her
Then Shug Avery practically your momma
She'll sing for you, Harpo
I know she will
You so pretty
Men ain't pretty
You is
If you wanna eat the apple
Off of this here tree
Yeah, brown Betty
Don't bring nothin' but your sweet stuff
Home to me
Don't matter if she
Big-legged (big-legged)
Brown-eyed (brown-eyed)
Big-eyed (big-eyed)
Brown-legged (brown-legged)
Whatever she is
That girl sho is fine
Whatever she is
That girl sure is fine
