Black And Tan - David Bromberg

There’s one thing 'bout my woman, I can’t understand

Ey, hey, Lord, I can’t understand

Every night she go to bed, she want to do that old black and tan

I got me a brownskin woman, man, she’s long and slim

Ey, hey, Lord, long and slim

Says, when I start to loving her, great God, it’s too bad again

I don’t want a midnight woman, knocking on my door

Ey, hey, knocking on my door

'Fore I got me a pigmeat woman, I can not use sow belly no more

I ain’t never loved but three womens in this land

Ey, love, three womens in this land

Said that’s my mother and my sister, woman that’s goin' be that black and tan

There’s one thing I sure do hate

Ey, hey, Lord, I sure do hate

Ever since my woman learned the Black And Tan, I can not keep her straight

Said, I believe I heard my woman call my name

Oh, yeah, hear her when she caU my name

She doesn’t call so loud, but she call so nice and plain
