Down Brownie

(альбом: Rio Grande Mud - 1972)

When I woke up this morning
Had a smile run across my face
My baby from town just had to get down
Come and drag me all over the place

Gone to drive on a flatbed trailer truck
Down on Highway Fifty-Nine
I had the blues and my baby, she knew
She's holding little piece of mind

Down brownie
My brownie downtown
Down brownie

Got my share and I'm a black
Hand cotton field
Just to try and keep myself alive
Eating red beans and rice
With the right sauce, it's nice
Or anything you wanna try

Now I'm hitching a ride back from Brownie
I'm kind of sad but I feel alright
The cold night it stings
But I got me some wings
I'll be flying into Houston tonight
