Get Back lyrics
by Big Bill Broonzy
This little song that I'm singin' about
People you all know is true
If you black and gotta work for a livin' now
This is what they been sayin' to you
They said if you white, you's alright
If you is brown, stick around
But if you's black, oh brother
Get back, get back, get back...
I was in a place one night
They was all havin' fun
They was all buyin' beer and wine
But they would not sell me none
They said if you white, you's alright
If you is brown, you can stick around
But if you's black, mm mm brother
Get back, get back, get back...
I went to an employment office
I got a number and I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine
They said if you white, you's alright
If you is brown, you can stick around
But if you's black, mm mm brother
Get back, get back, get back...
