Blind Willie McTell - Teasing Brown Lyrics

I had a gal, of teasing brown
But I did not treat her right
I acted a fool
I let her down
Another gal I'll treat right
But if I ever get lucky again
Gone get myself a teasing brown
Because they are the best gals in your town
A teasing brown is the best brown after all
They will sit by you through spring summer and fall
Now lots of folks claim
A monkey man of dark colour
Is really gone crazy
By a real hot yellow
Now a yellow boys
That ain't all
The night that you come home
Another mule is in your stall
Yellow gal with lots of money
She will sing
Telling all dark men she ain't
Putting out a thing
Now brown will have a dollar
You can see it in her hands
To fish for herself boys
And six fish for her man
Now brown will love you
Treat you right
That home - all day and night
Work till you
But a brown is alright
Yellow girl gets 25 years old
She throws up like tripe
Teasing brown is best brown after all

I had a gal, of teasing brown
But I did not treat her right
I acted a fool
I let her down
Another gal I'll treat right
But if I ever get lucky again
Gone get myself a teasing brown
Because they are the best gals in your town
A teasing brown is the best brown after all
They will sit by you through spring summer and fall
Now lots of folks claim
A monkey man of dark colour
Is really gone crazy
By a real hot yellow
Now a yellow boys
That ain't all
The night that you come home
Another mule is in your stall
Yellow gal with lots of money
She will sing
Telling all dark men she ain't
Putting out a thing
Now brown will have a dollar
You can see it in her hands
To fish for herself boys
And six fish for her man
Now brown will love you
Treat you right
That home - all day and night
Work till you
But a brown is alright
Yellow girl gets 25 years old
She throws up like tripe
Teasing brown is best brown after all
