Hundreds of 'race' singers have flooded the market with what is generally regarded as the worst contribution to the cause of good music ever inflicted on the public. The lyrics of a great many of these 'blues' are worse than the lowest sort of doggerel - Talking Machine Journal, February 1924, plucked from Stephen Calt's Barrelhouse Words

Brownskin Woman TAB
« on: May 27, 2022, 02:00:21 PM »
Hi all,  I'm looking for TAB for this song. Or something similar of this arrangement.
I can figure out some stuff but to have the TAB with it makes things so much easier. I'm pretty sure it's in C Position.

John Jackson played it. I think he got it from Blind Boy Fuller in some way.

Thanks for posting.
You must have just uploaded that yourself? I know this version, it's from the Blues Houseparty film.

I found a John Jackson TAB book but it's not in it.

What a wonderful ditty, I don't suppose there are any tabs for this lovely version by John Jackson ? I play the Snooks version, but never heard this before

"My Brownskin Sugar Plum" and "You Never Can Tell" are pretty close how John Jackson played "Brownskin Woman". He must've heard those records.
The Fuller book is worth every penny.
Includes also all the lyrics for the songs, dead on balls accurate, copied straight from Weeniepedia.
