Vamping Brown (Take 2) Lyrics

[Verse]
Now Cora Lee from Tennessee
Had diamonds by the score
Big fur coat and picture hat
Still she'd play you for more
And all the boys were simply wild
About this vamping babe
And when the other girls swarm here
Here's what they did say:

[Chorus]
Girls, I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same
I'm plain in my style with my big, broad smile
"Cheerful Memphis," my nickname
I was born in Virginia, reared in Tennessee
I'm like a [?]
I'm just a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same

[Chorus]
Lord, I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same
I'm plain in my style with my big, broad smile
"Cheerful Memphis," my nickname
I went up on the mountain, looked down in the sea
The fishes in the water tried to flirt with me
'Cause I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same

[Chorus]
I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same
Lord, I'm plain in my style with my big, broad smile
"Cheerful Memphis," my nickname
My name's Alberta, home's in a lion's den
And my daily occupation is stealing monkey-women's men
I'm just a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same
