Some Scream High Yellow

[Verse 1]
Now the rollin' mill, dear Lord, burnt down last night
Now the rollin' mill, dear Lord, burnt down last night
Now they're shippin' no iron in this town today

[Verse 2]
[?], ramblin' on my mind
[?], just ramblin' on my mind
I ain't got no right to leave, I ain't got no right to change my mind

[Verse 3]
Now did you dream lucky and wake up cold in hand?
Now did you dream lucky, wake up cold in hand?
Then you'll want to see some good gal, hasn't got no man

[Verse 4]
A-sometime I think I will, then I think that I won't
Sometime I think I will, then I think that I won't
Sometime I think I loathe her, then I think that I don't

[Verse 5]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Sometime I think that I will, and then I think that I won't

[Verse 6]
Some screamin' "High yellow," I scream "Black or brown"
Some scream "High yellow," I scream "Black or brown"
'Cause a high yellow may mistreat you, but black won't turn you down

[Verse 7]
Mama, I got a notion, honey, and I believe I will
I got a notion, mama, and I believe that I will
Catch a long jumpin' Judy and go on across the hill
