[Verse 1]
[G]Doctor[Abdim] let me tell[E]
you something [A]about myself
[D]I'm a college man and I'm
very [C]wealthy[G]
I've got no [Abdim]time to t[E]rifle
with [A]trash like you
[D]Cause I must [Em]be 'bout my
business
[Fdim][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
My brother[E]'s a machinist in a [A]textile mill
[D]And he makes more money
than you [C]ever will
[Em]He j[G]ust got [Abdim]married to a Polis[E]h gi[A]rl
[D]With a space between her teeth

[Verse 3]
[G]My [D]sis[G]ter's[Abdim]
a dan[E]cer up [A]in Baltimore
[D]At a small cafe on Main
[Em]But [G]she ran off with[D] a Negro
from [Esus4]the Eastern Shore[Em]
[A]Dr., she didn't even know
his [D]name[Dm][D]

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] Get [G]me
back on [D]my feet [G]again
Back on my feet [D]again
[G]Open the doo[D]r and[Em] set me free
Get [A]me back on [D]my feet [G]again[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]He took her down to [E]Mobile
[A]in a railroad train
[D]He said, "Driver,
take me to the Hotel [C]Paree."[Em][G]
He went into the wash[D]room
Washed his [Esus4]face and hand[Em]s
[A]Dr., when he come out he was
white as you [D]and me

[Verse 6]
He [G]said, "Girl,
[G#dim]I'm not a Neg[E]ro I'm a mil[A]lionaire
[D]As you can plainly see[C][Em][G]
So many [D]women love my [Esus4]money[Em]
[A]But you have proved that

[Verse 7]
you love only me.
[Dm]"I'm [D]goi[G]ng to teach you to play[E]
polo and how [A]to water [D]ski
And you won't have to dance no [Em]more[G]
And I no [D]longer must [Esus4]pretend t[Em]o be
[A]A Negro from the Eastern Sho[D]re."[G][D]
