Deceitful Brownskin Woman Lyrics

Blind Lemon Jefferson Deceitful Brownskin Woman

There's a brown across town : and she's taller as a
sycamore tree
That's the gal'd walk through the rain and snow : for to
ease that thing on me

Brownskin girl is deceitful : till she gets you all worn
down
She get all your pocket change : she going drive you from
her town

Went home last night : found a note in my brownskin's
door
Daddy *stay long* has got your room : man you can't live
here no more

I [begun to walk, commenced walking] : walked till my
feet got soaking wet
Trying to find good home mama : man I ain't found none
yet

Well the sun's going to shine : in my back door some day
Ah it's one more drink : going to drive these blues away

Lord it's heavy‑hipped mama : and the meat shakes on the
bone
Every time it shakes : it's a sign my baby's home
