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.
