Down Brownie lyrics

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 want to 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
