Lyrics Afraid Ain't Me - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Afraid Ain't Me

Scorn me not though I deserve
I’ve done fighting in my time
Long live the people hear me shout
And tell my enemies I’m blind now
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be
But afraid ain’t me
Trust to me your little ones
Slow and sweet I teach
Woman man in blended garments
Try to block my greatest moments
Cold and clear, cold and clear
Alone I may be
But afraid ain’t me
Oh the little black one comes
No one shouts out my name
Oh the little white one comes
Think love is a game?
Treat me well when wandered to your door
Bathe me please for I am dirty
Wash me hard with scalding tears
And with bath water drain my fears
Cold and clear, cold and clear
Alone I may be but
Afraid ain’t me
Cold and clear, cold and clear
Alone I may be but
Afraid ain’t me
