Brown Skin Girl - Harry Belafonte
Everything to keep me from sleepin'
A lot of sailor boys they were leavin'
And everybody there they were jumpin'
To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin'
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm goin' away in a sailing boat
And if I don't come back
Stay home and mind baby
Now be Americans made an invasion
We thought it was a help to the island
Until they left from here on vacation
They left de native boy home to mind their children
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm goin' away in a sailing boat
And if I don't come back
Stay home and mind baby
Now I tell you de story 'bout Millie
Well she made a nice blue eyed baby
And dey say she fancy the mother
But the blue eyed baby ain't know she father
Now de Americans all have their pleasure
While the music played to their leisure
And Everybody there they were jumpin'
To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin'
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm goin' away in a sailing boat
And if I don't come back
Stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
