Verse 1
D
Well you know, they're allowing,
as you know,
they're allowing anybody into colleges nowadays,
you know.
A
D
They even went so far
as to allow me into a Ruskin College
in Oxford for a couple of years.
A
Actually I was sentenced there, you know.
D
But while I was there,
while I was there,
there was a chap called Mambo Makoko,
and he came from Tanganyika.
He was a lovely lad, a smashing lad,
and he was involved in a
colour bar incident,
about which I thought I'd write
A
D
a wee song.
Mumbo was a dusky man,
A
D
The sun had burned him brown,
But when he met with the colour bar,
A
D
It never got him down.
He'd ask them,
What colour is the good lord's skin?
A
D
Tell me, brother, do
G
Is he black or is he brown
A
D
A
D
Or is he just like you?
He went into a bar one night
A
D
But he heard the barman say
We don't want no coloured skin
A
D
A
So Mumbo then said pray
D
Tell me what colour's the coloured skin
A
D
Tell me, brother, do
A
Is he black or is he brown
D
A
D
Or is he just like you?
He went to pray in Pretoria
But the preacher's face turned blue
He thumped on his Bible and
he told Mambo
A
D
You're sittin' in the white man's pew
Oh, tell me,
what color is the good Lord's skin?
Tell me, brother, do
A
Is he black or is he brown
D
A
D
Or is he just like you?
He went in search of a room one day
A
D
But the landlord turned him down
Saying, you can bet we've a room to let
A
But, your skin is brown
D
Oh, tell me, what colour is
the good lord's skin?
A
D
Tell me, brother, do
G
Is he black or is he brown
A
D
Or is he just like you?
