When I woke up this mornin`
had a smile run across my face.
My baby from town just had to get down,
come and drag me all over the place.
Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck
down on highway fifty-nine.
I had the blues and my baby, she knew
she`s holdin` little piece of mind.
Down brownie,
my brownie downtown,
down brownie.
Got my share and I`m a black hand cottonfield
just to try and keep myself alive.
Eatin` red beans and rice with the right sauce, it`s nice
or anything you wanna try.
Now I`m hitchin` a ride back from Brownie`s,
I`m kind of sad but I feel alright.
The cold night it stings but I got me some wings,
I`ll be flyin` into Houston tonight.
