My mother was a black woman, father a black man too

And you know 'bout that, nothin' for a yellow woman to do

Yellow women are mean and they're evil, crooked on every hand

Yes take my advice now boys, and be a black woman's man



Yellow women sit around home, wait for payday to come

She'll never be good no more, till your next week's work is done

Yellow women are mean and they're evil, crooked on every hand

Yeah take my advice now boys, and be a black woman's man



May think a yellow woman loves you, till it comes to a test

She may be your type and kind, I know she's not the best

Yellow women are mean and they're evil, they're crooked on every hand - yes!

Yes just take my advice now boys, and be a black woman's man



I'm crazy 'bout my whiskey, crazy 'bout my gin

But you know a yellow woman is crazy 'bout outside men

Yellow womens are mean and they're evil, crooked on every hand

Why don't you take my advice now boys, and be a black woman's man



Play it for me Slim!



If you go see a yellow woman, got to have your dollar in your hand

Go see a black woman, she gets out her fryin' pan

Yellow women are mean and they're evil, crooked on every hand

Why don't you take my advice now boys, be a black woman's man
