Brownskin Man Lyrics

[Verse]
I had me a man, a teasing brown
But I did not treat him right
I acted a fool, I told him down
My man was real bright
But if I ever get lucky again
I'm gonna get myself a good brown
Just because they are the best
I mean of all men in your town

[Chorus]
I said a brown skin man
He's the best man after all
I say he'll stick by you
In the winter, summer, spring, and fall

[Bridge]
Now there's a lot of folks who claim the monkey-man of dark color
Is only crazy 'bout a high yellow
A high yellow will throw you and that ain't all
Every night when you leave home, another mule in your stall
A brown skin man will love you, will surely treat you right
Stay at home and do his work both day and night
A yellow gal with lots of money, and loudly she will sing
Tellin' all dark-lookin' men she ain't puttin' out a thing
But a brown will have a dollar, can see it in her hand
She's keeping 2/5ths for herself and givin' 6/5ths to her man
A brown's got Elgin movement from his head to his knees
Automatic work and 20 year guarantee
Now the world can tell you a brownskin man is alright
A yellow man gets 25 years old and draws up like tripe

[Chorus]
Therefore a brown skin man
He's the best man after all

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Therefore a brown skin man
He's the best man after all
