Vamping Brown (Take 4)

[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
Now when the other girls swarm here
Here's what Cora said:

[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 went up on the mountain, looked down in the sea
The fishes in the water tried to flirt with me
Still I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the samе

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Lord, I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just thе same
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
Still I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same

[Chorus]
You better stop your good man from smiling in my face
Or you'll wake up some morning and find me in your place
Still I'm a plain little brown from a one-horse town
But I'm vamping just the same
