Текст песни Black Brown and White - Eric Bibb

This little song that I'm singin' about
People you know is true
If you're black you gotta work for a living
This is what they will say to you
If you was white, is all right
If you was brown, stick around
But as you's black, wooo brother, git back git back git back
I was in a place one night
They was all having fun
They was all byin' beer and wine
But they would not sell me none
If you was white, is all right
If you was brown, stick around
As you's black, wooo brother, git back git back git back
Me and a man was workin' side by side
This is what it meant
They was paying him a dollar an hour
And they gave me fifty cent
If you was white, is all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But as you's black, woooo brother, git back git back git back
I went to an employment office
Got a number 'n' I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine
If you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But as you black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back
I hope when sweet victory
With my plough and hoe
Now I want you to tell me brother
What you gonna do about the old Jim Crow?
If you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
As you's black, whoa brother, git back git back git back
