Black And Tan by Blind Boy Fuller Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey

There's one thing 'bout my woman, I can't understand
Oh, oh, Lord, I can't understand
Every night she go to bed, she wanna do that old black and tan

I got me a brownskin woman, man, she's long and slim
Oh, oh, Lord, long and slim
Lord, when I start to loving her, great God, it's too bad Jim

I don't want no midnight woman, knocking on my door
Oh, oh, knocking on my door
Lord, I got me a pig-meat woman, I cannot use sow belly no more

I ain't never loved but three womens in this land
Oh, loved, three womens in this land
Said that's my mother and my sister, woman that love me the black and tan

There's one thing, I sure do hate
Oh, oh, Lord, I sure do hate
Ever since my woman learned to black and tan, I cannot keep her straight
Said, I b'lieve I heard my woman call my name
Oh, Lord, heard her when she called my name
She never called too loud, but she called so nice and plain
