Brownskin mama: What in the world you want me to do
You keep my poor heart aching: I'm blue through and
Through

I helped you when you were down: And could not help
Yourself
Now I'm down: You want to help somebody else

You can go: Do anything that you want to do
Some day you want me: Mama and I won't want you

You treat me lowdown and dirty: Baby that's all you do
But some old rainy day: It's coming home to you

My mind's all churned up: That's why I'm all confused
That's the reason why: I'm moaning these brownskin mama
