We People Who Are Darker Than Blue |
We people who are darker than blue |
We people who are darker than blue |
Don’t let us hang around this town |
Don’t let us hang around this town |
And let what others say come true |
And let what others say come true |
We’re just good for nothing they all figure |
We’re just good for nothing they all figure |
A boyish grown up shiftless jigger |
A boyish grown up shiftless jigger |
Now we can’t hardly stand for that |
Now we can’t hardly stand for that |
Or is that really where it’s at Or is that really where it’s at We people who are darker than blue |
We people who are darker than blue |
This ain’t no time for segregating |
This ain’t no time for segregating |
I’m talking 'bout brown and yellow too |
I’m talking 'bout brown and yellow too |
A white girl can’t you tell |
A white girl can’t you tell |
I’m just the surface of our dark deep well |
I’m just the surface of our dark deep well |
If your mind could really see |
If your mind could really see |
You’d know your color same as me, |
You’d know your color same as me, |
Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory |
Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory |
I know you won’t mind if I tell the whole story |
I know you won’t mind if I tell the whole story |
Now I know we have great respect for the sister, and mother |
Now I know we have great respect for the sister, and mother |
It’s even better yet |
It’s even better yet |
But there’s the joker in the street loving one brother ano killing the other |
But there’s the joker in the street loving one brother ano killing the other |
When the time comes and we are really free |
When the time comes and we are really free |
There’ll be no brothers left to see |
There’ll be no brothers left to see |
We people who are darker than blue |
We people who are darker than blue |
Don’t let us hang around this town |
Don’t let us hang around this town |
And let what others say come true |
And let what others say come true |
We’re just good for nothing they all figure |
We’re just good for nothing they all figure |
A boyish grown up shiftless jigger |

Now we can’t hardly stand for that |
Now we can’t hardly stand for that |
Or is that really where it’s at Or is that really where it’s at |
