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 rat's hole, 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.
