Mad 12 string blues man.

[@mickeyfromcamden]

I might be wrong but Big Bill played 6 string, never heard him play a 12. Maybe you're thinking of Blind Willie McTell?

[@paulchamberlain8355]

@@mickeyfromcamden hmmmm... Probably leadbelly I'm thinking of 🤔

Big Joe Williams of the "9 string guitar" who wrote 'Baby please don't go ' played rigged up 12 string and was another notable country blues player . Acoustic and electric . Few had the status of Big Bill Broonzy . Yes Paul that was a wild statement you'll never hear regarding Big Bill .

Here's the link to the sing-along song in this video that fit with the below written lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnbWemqqatR4a5Y The Folk Box 1964 ELK-BOX TFB8 Broadside-Topical- and protest songs 04 (77 of 83) BLACK, BROWN AND WHITE/Big Bill Broonzy. Big Bill Broonzy was a country blues singer who moved to Chicago in the thirties, became an articulate spokesman for the blues and for the Negro. He composed more than 350 songs, and none cuts more deeply to the heart of the racial crisis than this slightly truculent, sardonic blues. It bears as much relevance today as when Broonzy wrote it, in 1946. "This song in fact, was written about my life. There’s a lot of people who don’t like it, because of the word: Get back. Well, there’s a lot of people in the world, who have never had to get back. But, I wrote it, because I had to get back." This little song that I’m singin’ about, People, you know’r it’s true; If you’re black and gotta work for a livin’, Now, this is what they will say to you. CHORUS: They says, if you was white, you’d be all right, If you was brown, stick around But as you's black, ooh brother, Get back, get back, get back! I was in a place one night They was all havin’ fun, They was all buying beer and wine, But they would not sell me none. CHORUS: They said, if you was white, you’d be all right, If you was brown, stick around But as you's black, ooh brother, Get back, get back, get back! Then, went to an employment office, The number I got in line, They called everybody’s number, But they never did call mine, CHORUS: They said, if you was white, you’d be all right, If you was brown, stick around But as you's black, ooh brother, Get back, get back, get back! Me and a man was working side by side, This is what it meant; They was payin’ him a dollar an hour, They was payin’ me fifty cents, CHORUS: They said, if you was white, you’d be all right, If you was brown, stick around But as you's black, ooh brother, Get back, get back, get back! I helped build this country, And I fought for it, too; Now I guess that you can see What a black man have to do, CHORUS: They says, if you was white, it’s alright, If you was brown, stick around But as you's black, ooh brother, Get back, get back, get back! I hope when sweet victory, With my little plow and hoe; Now I want you to tell me, brother, What you goin’ to do about the old Jim Crow, CHORUS: Now'r, if you is white, you’s alright, If you is brown, stick around, But as you’s black, ooh, brother, - Get back! - Get back! - Get ba-a-ack! - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bill_Broonzy - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHGYpZmj9iHgqM same sing-along lyrics as above. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6TRh36jjtN3j7s Big Bill Broonzy live 1953.
