“A Brown-Skinned Woman”
Description
"A brown-skinned woman and she's choc'late to de bone, A brown-skinned woman and she smells like toilet soap...." The woman can make a train slide, or make a preacher "lay his Bible down"; "I married a woman, she was even tailor-made."
Notes
Scarborough lists this as a blues; neither the form nor the apparent happiness of the singer supports this conclusion. - RBW
