Black, Brown And White Lyrics

 

Black, Brown and White - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)

Little song I'm singin' about

Nobody's true

 

If you're black and gotta work for a living

This what people say

If you white should be all right

If your brown stick around

If your black for brother git back git

Back git back

 

I gonna place the other night

They all having fun

 

They was drinking beer and wine

But I could by none

If your white should be alright

If your brown stick around

If your black for brother git back git

Back git back

 

I went employment office

 

Got a number I fill in line

 

They called everybody's number

But never did call mine

If your white should be alright

If your brown stick around

If your black for brother git back git

Back git back

 

Me and a man was workin' side by side

 

This is what it meant

 

He was making up dollar an hour

On I get fifty cent

If your white should be alright

If your brown stick around

If your black for brother git back git

Back git back

 

I have to be in this country

 

I thought full it to

 

Now I guess you can see

There black men got to be

If your white should be alright

If your brown stick around

If your black for brother git back git

Back git back

 

Hope to when this victory

 

With my plough and hoe

 

Now I just want to know

What you gonna do about the jim crow

If your white should be alright

If your brown stick around

If your black whoa brother git back git back

 

Git back
