Mama I woke up this morning, mama had the sundown blues Woke up this morning, mama had the sundown blues And my fair brown told me, I refuse to go Mama I had so much chicken, mama cackles in my sleep So much chicken, mama cackles in my sleep You don't like my potatoes mama, oh don't you plow so deep I got nineteen fair browns, said I want you all to know Nineteen fair browns, I said I want you all to know Mama if you want to see me, mama I'll let the nineteen go Now you see my little fair brown, tell her to bring me meat My little fair brown, tell her to bring me meat When the wintertime gets here, I'll wear the BVDs
