Lyrics for Am I Right Or Wrong

Am i right or wrong You need not think because I'm black I'm gonna beg you to take me back Now babe Was that right or wrong? I'm going in the spring I got messed from shakin' that thing Now babe Was that right or wrong? Yeah up the hickory down the pine I bust my britches right behind Now babe Was that right or wrong? You need not think because you're brown I'm gonna let you dog me round Now honey Was that right or wrong? You need not think that because you're yella I'm gonna give you my last four dollars Now babe Was that right or wrong? Look a here honey what you want me to do Done all i could to get along with you Now honey Was that right along? You need not think because I'm black Gonna beg you to take me back Now honey Was that right or wrong? I'm going in the spring But i got messed from shakin that thing Now honey Was that right or wrong?
