Big Bill Broonzy - Get Back
This little song that I'm singin' about
People you all know that it's true
If you're black and gotta work for livin'
Now this is what they will say to you
They says if you was white
You's alright
If you was brown
Stick around
But if you's black oh brother
Get back get back get back
I was in a place one night
They was all havin' fun
They was all buyin' beer and wine
But they would not sell me none
They said if you was white
You's alright
If you was brown
You could stick around
But as you's black hmm hmm brother
Get back get back get back
I went to an employment office
I got a number I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine
They said if you was white
You's alright
If you was brown
You could stick around
But as you's black hmm hmm brother
Get back get back get back
Me and a man was workin' side by side
Now this is what it meant
They was payin' him a dollar an hour
And they was payin' me fifty cent
They said if you was white
You'd be alright
If you was brown
You could stick around
But as you's black oh brother
Get back get back get back
I helped win sweet victories
With my plow and hoe
Now I want you to tell me brother
What you gonna do 'bout the old jim crow
Now if you is white
You's alright
If you's brown
Stick around
But if you's black
Hmm brother
Get back get back get back
