Black Brown and White - Eric Bibb

This little song that I’m singin' about

People, you know it’s true

If you’re black and gotta work for a living

This is what they’ll say to you

If you’s white, is all right

If you’s brown, stick around

But as you’s black, whoa 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’s white, is all right

If you’s brown, stick around

But as you’s black, whoa brother

Git back, git back, git back

Me and a man was workin' side by side

And this is what it meant

They was paying him a dollar an hour

And they was paying me fifty cent

If you’s white, is all right

If you’s brown, stick around

As you’s black, whoa brother

Git back, git back, git back
