Heart, luck, papa comin' down the lane Mama givin' back his walkin' cane
Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue Threw it away and he went to town
See that woman and now he's down Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue
Heart, luck, papa gettin' too tight If you don't quit drinkin' you'll be high
as a kite Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue
He's drinkin' that block and tackle kind He can walk a block and tackle a lion
Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue
I walked up to my girl's old man And I asked him for my true love's hand
Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue He said you'll owe a little gluten
Instead of her hand I got his foot Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue
Heart, luck, papa standin' in the rain If the world was corn he couldn't buy grain
Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue He runs around in second-hand clothes
You can smell his feet wherever he goes Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue
Revenue man took my gin I hope they won't come back again
Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue Took my sweetie with them too
Cause she'd had a little drink or two Lord, lord, I got them browns very blue
He said that's why I took her
