Paroles de Barbecue Blues

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 my overalls My brown done quit me God knows she had it all I'm going to tell you now gal Like gypsy told the Jew If you don't want me It's a cinch I don't want you Did you ever dream lucky Wake up cold in hand That's a mighty true sign Your brown got some other man My mama told me Papa told me too Some brown skin woman Going to be the death of you
