I got a brownskin woman, she's all right with me
I got a brownskin woman, she's all right with me
'Bout the finest woman that a man most ever seen
Lord, I can't stay here, and my lover's gone
Lord, I can't stay here, and my lover's gone
Sometimes I wonder, my brownskin, she won't come home
Too old to marry, too young to settle down
Too old to marry, too young to settle down
Lord, I done quit work, babe, I b'lieve I'll ramble 'round
Lord, these my blues, I love to sing my song
Lord, these my blues, said, I love to sing my song
I've got a brownskin woman, Lord, and she won't come home
SOLO (Spoken: Lord, baby, I'm worried now. Sure won't be worried long.)
Lord, it's some folks say that the worried blues ain't bad
Lord, it's some people say that the worried blues ain't bad
Lord, It's some people say that the worried blues ain't bad
Lord, the worst old feeling than a man most ever had
Have you ever lied down with your good gal on your mind?
Have you ever lied down with your good gal on your mind?
I got a brownskin woman keep me bothered all the time
Hear the freight train hollerin', comin' 'round the bend
Hear the freight train holl'in', comin' 'round the bend
You ain't had no lovin' since to God knows when
