I'm a Black Woman's Man

I'm a Black Woman's Man - Brownie McGhee/Blind Boy Fuller

My mother was a black woman

Father a black man too

And you know 'bout that

Nothin' for a yellow woman to do

Yellow women are mean and they're evil

Crooked on every hand

Yes take my advice now boys

And be a black woman's man

Yellow women sit around home

Wait for payday to come

She'll never be good no more

Till your next week's work is done

Yellow women are mean and they're evil

Crooked on every hand

Yeah take my advice now boys

And be a black woman's man

May think a yellow woman loves you

Till it comes to a test

She may be your type and kind

I know she's not the best

Yellow women are mean and they're evil

They're crooked on every hand - yes

Yes just take my advice now boys

And be a black woman's man

I'm crazy 'bout my whiskey

Crazy 'bout my gin

But you know a yellow woman is crazy 'bout outside men

Yellow womens are mean and they're evil

Crooked on every hand

Why don't you take my advice now boys

And be a black woman's man

If you go see a yellow woman

Got to have your dollar in your hand

Go see a black woman she gets out her fryin' pan

Yellow women are mean and they're evil

Crooked on every hand

Why don't you take my advice now boys

Be a black woman's man
