Black Uncle Remus sits in Central Square,

Sombody flipped the Rocker of his Rocking Chair

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
[Chorus, no words]

Uncle Remus, he moans and he sings

His tears have rusted his Banjo Strings

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?
