Brown Skin Blues by Dick Justice

Brown Skin Blues - Dick Justice; E position, standard tuning.

Won't you tell me, mama, honey, where did you stay last night?
Won't you tell me, mama, where did you stay last night?
With your hair all tatty and your clothes ain't on you right

Look here, mama, honey, what you have done done
Look here, mama, honey, what you have done done
You done made me love you, now your man done come

SOLO

Lord, I'm leavin' you now to wear you off my mind
Lord, I'm leavin' you now to wear you off my mind
Babe, it's I been drinkin' and I don't mind dyin'

When I met you, mama, you had no hair at all
When I met you, mama, you had no hair at all
Give me back the wig I bought you let your doggone head go bald

SOLO

Won't you tell me what time this train runs through your town?
Won't you tell me what time this train runs through your town?
I wanta laugh and talk with a long-haired teasin' brown

One goes up at eight, honey, one goes down at nine
One goes up at eight, honey, one goes down at nine
I've got an urge to talk with the long-haired brown of mine
