You passed my door brown: You won't even look in
You passed: Just like a whirlwind

You can pass me up: Try to ignore me too
You like you ignore me: Somebody's going to ignore you

I lied down last night: I couldn't even sleep
I thinking about that gal: Might make that 'for

Woke up this morning gal
'Twixt midnight and day
With my hand around my pillow
Where my brownie used to lay

I know I ain't good looking
Teeth don't shine like pearls
So glad, good looks
Don't take you through this world

Going to starch my jumper mama
Iron

I caught a pretty little animal : it was striped black
and white
What it done to me : spoiled me the rest of my life

I thought it was a squirrel : I took him into my camp
When I put him down : all my clothes was damp

All the people around me : they give me plenty of air

Let me in please Charlie : no one here but me
I'm speaking easy : give me a pint of stingaree

Pour me out some white mule : pour me out some sandy rye
I don't want no bug juice : that old stuff is too darn
high

Oh liquor liquor liquor : give me liquor until I die
And

How long how long : how long my train been gone
Been gone long enough : to take you to your good gal home

Tell my wild women in California : where I so long to be
Wild women and whiskey : can make a fool out of me

They can lead me like a little airedale : that's only
seve

So glad I'm brownskin : chocolate to the bone
And I've got what it takes : to make a monkey‑man leave
his home

Black man is evil : yellow is so lowdown
I walk into these houses : just to see these black men
frown

I'm just like Miss Lilliam : I mean Miss Lynn you see

It seems cloudy brown : I believe it's going to rain
Going back to my regular : because she got everything

Hey hey mama : mama that ain't no way to do
You trying to quit me : mama you know I been good to you

Hello Central : give me long long‑distant phone
I want to hear :

Oh the way my wife treats me : it sure is a sin
Stayed out all night long : before day come creeping in

Then I wanted to know : honey where have you been
She couldn't say nothing : but it'll never happen again

I think sweet mama : I'll have to let you go
So pack up all yo

Down in dixie: There's a dance that's new
Ain't much to it: It is easy to do

You wiggle and you wobble: And you move it around
Ball the jack: And you go to town

I know a gal: By name of lizzie brown
She do that scraunch: She's the best in town

She steps so fast: And

Some people want to have plenty of money : some want
their wine and song
All I crave is my sweet mama : that I dreams about all
night long

Once I had a dear sweet mama : I didn't treat her right
She left this town with a teasing brown : and her name
was Mandy White

<

Going up to town: What you want me to bring you back
Oh just anything: You think your baby like

Honey honey: You sweet as a plum
Baby you throw your arms around me: Let's have some fun

Going up to town: With my hat in my hand
I'm looking for the woman: Ain't got no man

Said come along mama: Give me a hug
You got the world: I got the stopper and the jug

Gals all call me: Big bad pete
But they crazy: About this little pigmeat

Skinny gal in the summer: May be all right
But a fat gal in the winter: Just too tight

My gal she's easy: So

I got them blues: And I can't be satisfied
Got them so bad: I could just lay down and die

Woke up this morning: My clock was striking four
Someone started knocking: Knocking on my door

I went to see: What the noise was all about
Someone told me: Your brown done left this

When I'm in my whiskey: I don't care what I say
Because me and my whiskey: We going to have our way

Please tell me mama: What kind of loving you crave
I got the *kind that know about*: Seven different ways

I'm down in atlanta: Where the womens they all know me
I'm going u

I was walking down the levee with my head hanging low,
Looking for my sweet mama but she ain't here no more,
Thats why I'm crying mississippi heavy water blues.

Lord, lord, lord, I'm so blue, my house got washed away,
And I'm crying "how long for another pay day",
Thats why

Monkey and the baboon playin' in the grass
Monkey said, "Don't give me no sass"
When the baboon gave the monk a hard sock
You should see the monk do the 'Eagle Rock'

Monkey doodle-do
Monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me
I'll make a baboon of you

If I mistreat you gal: I sure don't mean no harm
I'm a motherless child: And I don't know right from
Wrong

Please tell me pretty mama: Honey where you stayed last
Night
You didn't come home: Till the sun was shining bright

I have to go so far: To get my hambone boiled

I'm a poor boy: I'm a long way from home
I'm a poor boy: Ain't got nowhere to go

Ain't got nowhere: To lay my worried head
Sometime: I'd sooner to be dead

Please tell me: What you going to do

I left my brown: Standing in the door
What you reckon she said: You'r

When you were down: Sick down on your bed
Know bobby brought you your medicine: Also brought you
Bread

You is up today: Looking good again
I knocked on your door: Wouldn't even let me in

But the sun going to shine: Once more in my back door
It's true I love you sweet

Up said the spider: To the little fly one day
Won't you come around: Let's pass the time away

Come into my parlor: Said the spider to the fly
You won't have to do no hollering: I love you until you
Die

My mama told me be careful: Wherever I flew
Spider's will try to t
