Brownskin girl is 'ceitful, till she gets you all worn down
She get all your pocket change, she's gonna drive you from her town

I commence to walkin', walked till my feet got soakin' wet
Tryin' to find good home, mama, man, I ain't found none yet

I'll have one more drink, gonna drive these blues away

I say, heavy-hip shakin' mama and the meat shakes on the bone
Every time it shakes, it's some fat mouth leave his home
