Get Back

[00:08.62] This little song that I'm singin' about
[00:11.95] People you all know is true
[00:16.35] If you black and gotta work for a livin' now
[00:19.78] This is what they been sayin' to you
[00:22.57] They said if you white, you's alright
[00:26.46] If you is brown, stick around
[00:30.67] But if you's black, oh brother
[00:35.76] Get back, get back, get back...
[00:40.58]
[00:43.62] I was in a place one night
[00:46.61] They was all havin' fun
[00:50.75] They was all buyin' beer and wine
[00:54.34] But they would not sell me none
[00:57.18] They said if you white, you's alright
[01:01.15] If you is brown, you can stick around
[01:05.69] But if you's black, mm mm brother
[01:10.12] Get back, get back, get back...
[01:14.94]
[01:17.38] I went to an employment office
[01:20.53] I got a number and I got in line
[01:24.28] They called everybody's number
[01:28.25] But they never did call mine
[01:31.63] They said if you white, you's alright
[01:35.57] If you is brown, you can stick around
[01:39.37] But if you's black, mm mm brother
[01:43.25] Get back, get back, get back...
[01:48.01]
[01:51.76] Me and a man was working side by side
[01:54.76] And this is what it meant
[01:58.75] They was payin' him a dollar an hour
[02:03.26] But they was payin' me fifty cent
[02:05.42] They said if you was white, you'd be alright
[02:09.49] If you is brown, you could stick around
[02:13.23] But if you's black, whoa brother
[02:18.65] Get back, get back, get back...
[02:23.38]
[02:25.44] I helped win sweet victories
[02:28.88] With my plow and hoe
[02:32.73] Now, I want you to tell me, brother
[02:36.32] Whatchu gonna do about the ol' Jim Crow
[02:39.34] Now, if you's white, you's alright
[02:43.10] If you is brown, stick around
[02:46.98] But if you black, whoa brother
[02:52.17] Get back, get back, get back...
