Brown Baby
Spoken: Hello, folks, at last I'm back again!
I'm going back to a Tennessee
town,
Back on a visit to my coffee brown,
'Way up the river
We will row,
Up and down the levee,
We will go!
I've got some baby waiting
for me,
My brown baby in old Tennessee,
When he starts to loving,
That's when he finds,
I'm just crazy about that baby of mine!
Do you suppose I ever will
know,
Brown baby!
What he has got
That makes me love him so?
Brown baby!
What about his smile
That almost gets me wild?
He makes a grown-up woman act just like a child;
Brown baby,
Here in old Tennessee!
Now, he don't use no poor
row [?]
No farmer's skin's so tan,
But what he's got is all his own,
And he's only got the best;
His eyes are just like midnight,
Best-looking man in town,
And I'll tell you why I'm crazy
About my country brown.
But, do you suppose
I ever will know,
Brown baby!
What he has got
That makes me love him so?
Oh, brown baby!
What about his smile
That almost gets me wild?
He makes a grown-up woman act just like a child;
Brown baby, baby!
From old Tennessee.
This is a classic example of older blues music sung with a jazz style.
