Barbecue Bob 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 brownskin woman : going to be the death of you
