Dar's a mean tough colored invidual,
she's known in dis hyar town;
by her mean way and rough way of livin'
and her name is Simpson Brown;
You kin never see her round widout a razor,
or a half a pint of blackberry or gin,
you'll have to step high,
when she pass by;
or de words that you'll hear will be a sin.
Though a member of the colored secret orders,
and days when she turns out;
the leader callin'
coons a squallin'
den you'll hear dose darkies shout:

Oh de tough wench
a Miss Simpson Brown
she's known in a dis hyar town,
as a woman who won't take nuthin' at all;
She is what you call
a reglar carvin' Jennie
she carves dem all
and don't slight any,
she's the toughest wench
that you'll find around,
the tough wench Miss Simpson Brown.

Oh de tough wench
a Miss Simpson Brown
she's known in a dis hyar town,
as a woman who won't take nuthin' at all;
She is what you call
a reglar carvin' Jennie
she carves dem all
and don't slight any,
she's the toughest wench
that you'll find around,
the tough wench Miss Simpson Brown.

I once had a 'tation to attend
a grand social hop;
ev'ry coon didn't have no money,
was bound fo' to drop;
Miss a Simpson was a standin' at the door,
You had to pay her money to be shush,
or she'd nab you
and grab you;
and fling you through the flo.
You never have seen such a woman
in all your life before;
she's a tougher
she's no bluffer,
when she pass dose darkies roar.

Oh de tough wench
a Miss Simpson Brown
she's known in a dis hyar town,
as a woman who won't take nuthin' at all;
She is what you call
a reglar carvin' Jennie
she carves dem all
and don't slight any,
she's the toughest wench
that you'll find around,
the tough wench Miss Simpson Brown.

Oh de tough wench
a Miss Simpson Brown
she's known in a dis hyar town,
as a woman who won't take nuthin' at all;
She is what you call
a reglar carvin' Jennie
she carves dem all
and don't slight any,
she's the toughest wench
that you'll find around,
the tough wench Miss Simpson Brown.
