Verse 1
C 
Now  (C major) let us talk about the brown bomber,
tell the nation this story,
let us talk about the brown bomber,
Joe Louis was a fighting man.
Well now stop,
let me tell you this story,
and I hope you understand.
I want to talk about a mighty great fighting man,
he fought with the master's hand.
He was born way down in the lowland,
in the state of A .L .A.
He's a farmer boy,
so I was told he had mother
within his heart.
Until one day, he's thinkin' hard,
thinkin' about the things involved.
He packed his bag,
kissed his mother in the door,
and headed for Old Detroit.
And there he started to work and train,
he never did have any fun.
Until one day, to his surprise,
up walked Mr. Blackburn.
And Joe lewis started his career,
his future was a stake
he fought from the bottom
to the golden glove
and on to the heavy weight now
Let us talk about the brown farmer.
Oh, tell the nation the story
Let us talk about the brown farmer.
Joe lewis was a fine man
Well, let us talk About The Brown Farmer.
oh, tell the nation the story
Well, let us talk about the brown farmer,
Joe Lewis was a fine man
There's canary smelling an old fair

His dear loving mother was the light

Just like I love Jericho
Very hard work went to bed at night

Now,  (C major) all you great fighters,

Just like the battle of Jericho
You'll never win a battle
until you get on your knees
