Mr. Brown (a cappella) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

(Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Is Mr. Brown?) Mr. Brown is a clown who rides to town in a coffin
(Well, he be found) In the coffin, where there is three crows on top and two is laughing
Oh, what a confusion! Ooh, yeah, yeah
What a botheration! Ooh, now, now

Who is Mr. Brown? I wanna know now
He is nowhere to be found
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin′ around
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town
Asking for Mr. Brown
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin' around
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town
Asking for Mr. Brown
I wanna know who (is Mr. Brown?)
Is Mr. Brown controlled by remote?


O-o-oh, calling duppy conqueror
I′m the ghost-catcher
This is your chance, oh big, big Bill bull-bucka
Take your chance! Prove yourself! Oh, yeah

Down in parade
People runnin' like a masquerade
The police make a raid
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they think it failed

What a thing in town
Crows chauffeur-driven around
Skankin' as if they have never known
The man they call, "Mr. Brown"

I can tell you where he′s from now
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin′ around
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town
Asking for Mr. Brown
