Deceitful Brownskin Blues

There's a brown 'cross town and she's taller than a sycamore tree

I got a brown 'cross town, taller than a sycamore tree

That's the gal who walks through the

rain and snow, for to ease that thing on me

Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down

Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down

She get all your pocket change, she's gonna drive you from her town

Went home last night, found a note in my brownskin's door

I went home last night, found a note in my brownskin's door

"Daddy, Steady Roller has got your

room, man, you can't live here no more"

I been worried and walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet

I commence to walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet

Tryin' to find good home, mama, man, I ain't found none yet

Well the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day

Well the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day

I'll have one more drink, gonna drive these blues away

Lord, it's heavy-hipped mama, and the meat shakes on the bone

I say, heavy-hip shakin' mama and the meat shakes on the bone

Every time it shakes, it's some fat mouth leave his home
