I WANT MY FANNY BROWN
Wynonie Harris  1948

Wynonie Harris  rec 1948


Anybody here seen Miss Fanny Brown?
Well, has anybody here seen Miss Fanny Brown?
She ain't so good lookin', but she lays that lovin' down!

Well, she's forty years old and she ain't young no more,
She's forty years old, she ain't young no more,
But the way she love you will make you come back for more!

She left this mornin', caught that mornin' train,
She left this mornin', caught that mornin' train,
Well, I wonder if I'll ever see Fanny Brown again!

Hey, mister brake man, come on back,
Stop that train in the middle of the track!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
Look out!

Well, I cried last night, cried the whole night through,
Yes, cried last night, cried the whole night through,
Fanny Brown is gone and I don't know what to do!

Well, I don't know what went wrong,
Woke up this mornin', I was all alone!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!
I want my Fanny Brown!

Hey hey, I want,
Want my Fanny back!
I want to hold her in my arms
And listen to her backbone crack!
Yes, I want my Fanny, want my Fanny Brown back!
