| This little song that I’m singin' about
|
| People you all know is true
|
| If you black and gotta work for a livin' now
|
| This is what they been sayin' to you
|
| They said if you white, you’s alright
|
| If you is brown, stick around
|
| But if you’s black, oh brother
|
| Get back, get back, get back…
|
| I was in a place one night
|
| They was all havin' fun
|
| They was all buyin' beer and wine
|
| But they would not sell me none
|
| They said if you white, you’s alright
|
| If you is brown, you can stick around
|
| But if you’s black, mm mm brother
|
| Get back, get back, get back…
|
| I went to an employment office
|
| I got a number and I got in line
|
| They called everybody’s number
|
| But they never did call mine
|
| They said if you white, you’s alright
|
| If you is brown, you can stick around
|
| But if you’s black, mm mm brother
|
| Get back, get back, get back…
|
| Me and a man was working side by side
|
| And this is what it meant
|
| They was payin' him a dollar an hour
|
| But they was payin' me fifty cent
|
| They said if you was white, you’d be alright
|
| If you is brown, you could stick around
|
| But if you’s black, whoa brother
|
| Get back, get back, get back…
|
| I helped win sweet victories
|
| With my plow and hoe
|
| Now, I want you to tell me, brother
|
| Whatchu gonna do about the ol' Jim Crow
|
| Now, if you’s white, you’s alright
|
| If you is brown, stick around
|
| But if you black, whoa brother
|
| Get back, get back, get back… |
