Black, Brown And White
This little song I'm singing about People you know it's true If you're black and got to work for a living This is what they say to you They say if you white, should be alright If you brown, stick around But if you're black, oh brother, get back, get back, get back I was in a place one night They were having fun They were drinking beer and wine But they would not sell me none They say if you white, should be alright If you Brown, stick around But if you're black, oh brother, get back, get back, get back Me and a man was working side by side This is what it meant They were paying him a dollar an hour And paying me fifty cent They say if you white, should be alright If you brown, stick around But if you're black, oh boy, get back, get back, get back Letras de cancionesI went to an employment office Got a number and I got in line They called everybody's number But they never did call mine They say if you're white, should be alright If you brown, stick around But if you're black, oh brother, get back, get back, get back I helped build this country And I fought for it too Now I guess that you can see What a black man has to do They say if you're White, should be alright If you're Brown, stick around But if you're black, oh brother, get back, get back, get back I win sweet victory With my plough and hoe Now, brother, you tell me Whatcha gonna do 'bout the old Jim Crow If you're white, should be alright If you're brown, stick around But if you're black, oh brother, get back, get back, get back From Letras Mania
