Testo Black Brown and White - Eddie Boyd
Testo della canzone Black Brown and White (Eddie Boyd), tratta dall'album Piano Blues Deep Cuts
Now this little song that I'm singing to you
People, it's really true
If you are black and gotta work for a livin'
This is what they say to you
They say if you are white, then you're all right
And if you are brown, then you can stick around
But you're black, uh-uh
They just keep saying get back
Well now you see, I was in a place one night
Everybody was having fun
All of those men were buying beer and wine
But don't you know they wouldn't sell me one
They said if you was white, then you would be all right
If you were brown, then you could stick around
But you're black, uh-uh
They just keep on saying get back
Well you see, I went to an employment office
I took a number and I got in line
They called every living soul's number was there
But they never did call mine
They said if you was white, then you would be all right
If you were brown, then you could stick around
But you're black, uh-uh
They just keep on saying get back
Well now you see, I have to win sweet victory over there
With my plow and hoe
I want you to tell me, tell me right now, Mr. Johnson
What you gonna do about that old Jim Crow
Stop saying if you was white, then you would be all right
If you were brown, then you could stick around
You see I'm black, I'm tired now
I ain't going for that
