Black, Brown and White Lyrics – Big Bill Broonzy
Singer: Big Bill Broonzy
Title: Black, Brown and White
This little song that I’m singin’ about
People you know’r is true
If you black and gotta work for a livin’
This is what they will say to you
They says if you was white which is all right
If you was brown stick around
But as you black, uh-huh brother
Get back get back get back
I was in a place one night
They was all havin’ fun
They was all buyin’ beer and wine
But they would not sell me none
They said if you was white ‘t should be all right
If you was brown stick around
But if you black, uh-huh brother
Get back get back get back
Me and a man was working side by side
This is what it meant
They was payin’ him a dollar an hour
And they was payin’ me 50 cents
They said if you was white ‘t should be all right
If you was brown you could stick around
But as you black, uh-huh boy
Get back get back get back
I went to an employement office
Got a number and I got in line
They called everybody’s number
But they never did call mine
They said if you was white ‘t should be all right
If you was brown you could stick around
But as you black, uh-huh brother
Get back get back get back
I hope to win sweet victory
With my plow’r and hoe
Now I want you to tell me brother
What you gonna do about the ol’ Jim Crow
Now if you was white which is all right
If you was brown stick around
But if you black, oh brother
Get back get back get back
