Half-Caste
I got a girl in Brixton town
Her daddy don’t like me hangin’ ‘round
The boy ain’t black, the boy is brown
Don’t he know it’s a half-caste townBig smoke
Big smoke
Big smoke
Big smokeThe boy is half-caste
Half-caste
Half-casteI got a girl up near Richmond way
Her daddy don’t like me to lead the girl astray
The brown boy is born to serve he say
Don’t he know it’s a different dayIn the big smoke
No joke
Big smoke
I like it
Big smoke
Big smokeMister, I’m half-caste
You see, I’m half-caste
I got no class
You see, I’m half-caste
