Lil Hardin Armstrong Brown Gal Lyrics

Brown Gal Lyrics

Now I'm mighty like a rose, all dressed up in fancy clothes; 

I'm just
another brown gal that's all full of vim; 

Well, here's the fix that I'm
left in: 



Now, I'm a brown gal, 

Brown gal, 

Makin' my
life just a bubble, 

Not even takin' the trouble to even blow the bubbles
away. 



Hmmm, brown gal, 

Chocolate gal, 

Got good
intentions, but I break all conventions, 

And I'm changing all my nights
into days. 



Hmmm, baby, now, the hot blazin' sun, 

Has
tanned my skin, 

Too dark for trouble to find a way in, 

Now,
lordy, I can see, 

Folks just laughin' at me; 

But I was just
naturally-born lazy! 



Brown gal, 

Chocolate gal, 

Makin' my life just a bubble, 

Not even takin' the trouble to even
blow bubbles away. 



Ooh, brown gal, 

Chocolate gal, 

Makin' my life just a bubble, 

Not even takin' the trouble to even
blow bubbles away.
