Brown Paper Bag

Brown Paper Bag
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
I remember in ’59, I had a love affair with a bottle of wine
Hanging out on Crampton Green, picking up on everybody’s good time
First I kept me 15 cents, long before I boosted up the 45
Then I bop on down to the Chinese grocery store, to get the thing that kept me alive
I had everything I needed, in a brown paper bag
Everything I needed, in a brown paper bag
I met this girl, we were shooting pool, she played the game just like a man
And I said, “Baby now, where you from? I’d like to take some lessons if I can”
And she said, “I come from Old St. Louis. And I left there, such a big drag. And I left there with nothing but a brown paper bag”
It was a brown paper bag
A brown paper bag
It was a brown paper, a brown papery, brown paper bag
It was a brown paper bag, a brown paper bag, it was a brown paper
A brown paper bag
It was a brown paper bag
Well, oh oh, oh oh whoa, yeah
It was a brown paper bag, a brown paper bag, it was a brown paper
A brown paper bag, it was a bag, it was a bag, it was a brown
The bag was brown, it was bag, it was a brown bag
