Black Brown and White

This little song that I'm singin' about People you know is true If you're black you gotta work for a living This is what they will say to you If you was white, is all right If you was brown, stick around But as you's black, wooo brother, git back git back git back I was in a place one night They was all having fun They was all byin' beer and wine But they would not sell me none If you was white, is all right If you was brown, stick around As you's black, wooo brother, git back git back git back Me and a man was workin' side by side This is what it meant They was paying him a dollar an hour And they gave me fifty cent If you was white, is all right If you was brown, could stick around But as you's black, woooo brother, git back git back git back I went to an employment office Got a number 'n' I got in line They called everybody's number But they never did call mine If you was white, should be all right If you was brown, could stick around But as you black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back I hope when sweet victory With my plough and hoe Now I want you to tell me brother What you gonna do about the old Jim Crow? If you was white, should be all right If you was brown, could stick around As you's black, whoa brother, git back git back git back
