Black Uncle Remus

Lyrics

Black uncle Remus sits in Central Square
 Somebody flipped the Rocker of his rocking chair
 When you got the whiskey habit
 You don't talk about bre'r rabbit
 Black uncle Remus got the death letter blues
 The hellhound says it time to pay your dues
 You really recall the catfish catches
 When you're living in the briar patches
 Uncle Remus, he moans and he sings
 His tears have rusted his Banjo Strings
 You call for Jesus or your ma maybe
 When you're life's gummed up in the tar, baby
 Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do?
 Watcha gonna do when you're black and blue?
 Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do?
 Watcha gonna do when you're black and blue?
