[Intro]
Hello folks, I'm back again

[Verse 1]
I'm going back to a Tennessee town
Back on a visit to my chocolate brown
Way up the river we will row
Up and down the levee we will go
I've got some baby waiting for me
My brown baby in old Tennessee
When he starts to lovin', that's when he shines
I'm just crazy 'bout that baby of mine

[Chorus]
Do you suppose I ever will know, brown baby
What he has got that makes me love him so, brown baby
Every time he smiles, he almost sets me wild
He makes a grown-up woman act just like a child
Brown baby in dear old Tennessee

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Now, he don't use no Poro
No Palmer's "Skin-Success"
But what he's got, it's all his own
And he's surely got the best
His eyes are just like midnight
Best lookin' man in town
And I'll tell the world I'm crazy
'Bout my chocolate brown

[Chorus]
But do you suppose I ever will know, brown baby
What he has got that makes me love him so, oh, brown baby
Every time he smiles, he almost sets me wild
He makes a grown up woman act just like a child
Brown baby, baby in dear old Tennessee
