Black, Brown And White Lyrics

This little song I'm singin' to ya You know that it's true Well if you are black and gotta work for a livin' This is what they say to you They say, ah if you are white, you alright And if you are brown, oh stick around But as you are black Oh brother, get back, get back, get back Oh me and a man were workin' side by side This is what it meant They were payin' him a dollar an hour They were payin' me 50 cents Sing it, if you were white, you alright And if you are brown, oh stick around But as you are black Oh brother, oh get back, get back, get back I went down to the unemployment office Got my number and I got in line They were callin' everybody's number But they never did call mine Say, if you were white, you alright And if you are brown, oh stick around But as you are black Oh brother, get back, get back, get back Say, if you were white, you alright And if you are brown, stick around But as you are black Oh brother, get back, get back, get back
