Get Back

GET BACK (1951) - Big Bill Broonzy
If you white, you all right,
If you brown, stick around
But if you black, oh, brother,
get back, get back, get back,
I was in a place one night
they was all having fun
they was buying beer and wine
but they would not serve me none.
(estribillo)
I went to an employement office
I got a number and I got in line
They called everybodys number
but they never did called mine.
(estribillo)
Me and a white man working side by side,
this is what it meant,
they was paying him a dollar an hour,
and the was paying me 50 cents.
(estribillo)
I opened three victories
with my plow and hoe
now I want you to tell me, brother
what you gonna do about the old Jim Crow.
(estribillo)


LÁRGATE
Si eres blanco, está bien,
si eres moreno, quédate aquí,
pero si eres negro, oh, hermano,
lárgate, lárgate, lárgate.
Una noche que estaba en un lugar,
todo el mundo se divertía
estaban bebiendo cerveza y vino,
pero a mí no me sirvieron nada.
(estribillo)
Fui la oficina de empleo,
cogí un número y guardé la cola,
llamaron a todo el mundo,
pero nadie me llamó a mí.
(estribillo)
Un hombre blanco y yo
trabajando hombro con hombro,
a él le pagan un dolar por hora
y a mí la mitad.
(estribillo)
Hice tres jardines
con mi arado y mi azadón,
y ahora dígame, hermano,
¿qué va a hacer con el viejo Jim Crow?
