Willie Dixon, «Weak Brain, Narrow Mind» (1964)

If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind
The world gonna leave you way behind
Your friends will deceive you, leave you cryin’
Can’t keep yours ’cause you are watchin’ mine

If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
You gonna have more friends than a train can hold
You won’t have no trouble or worries at all
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad

You know the strong overpower the weak
And the smart overpower the strong
The clever are the only ones enjoyin’ the world
While the greedy save all and enjoy none

If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart
Nothin’ in the world is gonna be too hard
We gonna keep on goin’ before others start
If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart

Впрочем, здесь вместо friends он поет womеn.
