Butterbeans and Susie — Brown Skin Gal

[Intro: Susie & Butterbeans] What is the matter Sue, what is the matter Sue? What's the matter? I just don't want you no more, can't use you, can't put in no more coal, only put in gas from now on, brother Ha, don't let your gas escape, I'll tell you that right now [Verse: Susie & Butterbeans] But you know I'm a yellow And I ain't no teasing brown And I sure can't treat you right Now Sue, you acted a fool For to throw me down For a man that is real bright Look out Butter I done got lucky again And I certainly don't want no brown Yes, come here Now look here boys I want you all to take my tip: Of all the gals in your town [Chorus: Susie & Butterbeans] I say a brown skin gal is the best gal after all Listen here, boy But you need not come home, 'cause I won't be there when you call [Bridge: Butterbeans] Now everybody claims a man dark color Is only crazy about a high yellow A high yellow, she will throw you, and that ain't all Every night when you come home, another mule in your stall Now a brown will stick by you and surely treat you right Stay at home and cook your meals both day and night Now a high yellow with lots of money, and loudly she will sing Telling all dark-lookin' men she ain't puttin' out a thing But a brown will have a dollar, you can see it in her hand She's got 2/5ths for herself and 6/5ths for her man Now a brown has got Elgin movements from her head to her knee Automatic work and 20 year guarantee Now the world will tell you that a brown skin gal is alright When a high yellow gets 25 years old, she draws up just like tripe Now look here boys, just let me get you told I say a brown skin gal, she serves the best jelly roll [Chorus: Butterbeans] That's why a brown skin gal is the best gal after all
