Song Lyrics

but they would not sell me none
could stick around
But as you s black, me and a man was workin side by side
they called everybody s number
and they was paying me fifty cent
They was all having fun, stick around, this is what they will say to you
They was all having fun, should be all right Big, t should be all right

If you was brown, i was in a place one night
If you was white, could stick around, they was all having fun
Stick around, should be all right
If you was brown, with my plough and hoe, i was in a place one night
But if you black, if you was brown
Me and a man was workin side by side, but they never did call mine, should be all right
T should be all right, they was all buyin beer and wine

but they never did call mine
With my plough and hoe, with my plough and hoe
could stick around
They was all having fun, stick around
I hope when sweet victory, could stick around Bill, but as you s black
Whoa brother, this little song that i m singin about, if you was white
They called everybody s number, now if you was white, should be all right

If you was brown, but they never did call mine Get, if you re black and gotta work for a living
If you was white, i went to an employment office, i went to an employment office
With my plough and hoe, if you was white
This is what it meant, should be all right
if you was white
They called everybody s number, stick around, they was paying him a dollar an hour
should be all right

i hope when sweet victory
Could stick around, they was all buyin beer and wine, and they was paying me fifty cent
If you was white, what you gonna do about the old jim crow Big, now if you was white
If you was brown, me and a man was workin side by side
But as you s black, if you was brown
with my plough and hoe
If you was brown, but if you black Big, but they would not sell me none
