An African American musician and lyricist
Noble Sissle - If You've Never Been Vamped by a Brown Skin Lyrics


Deacon Birch of Mt. Zion Church
Was hailed up into court.
He was brought in by his wife, I think,
And charged with non-support.

A sealskin brown with jet-black hair
Caused Deac’ to lose his head.
And when the judge called Deac’ to speak,
Dese am the words he said:

If you’ve never been vamped by a brownskin,
You’ve never been vamped at all,
For the vampingest vamp is a brownskin.
Believe me now, that ain’t no stall.
A high brown gal will make you break out of jail,
A choc’late brown will make a tadpole smack a whale,
But a pretty sealskin brown, I mean one long and tall,
Would make the silent Sphinx out in the desert bawl.
If you’ve never been vamped by a brownskin,
You’ve never been vamped at all.
