We people who are darker than blue don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish grown up shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at? We people who are darker than blue We've got no time for segregating I'm talking about brown and yellow too I a white girl can't U tell I'm just the surface of our dark deep well If your mind could really see You'd know your colour's same as me Pardon me brother As U stand in your glory I know U won't mind If I tell the whole story Now I know we have great respect For the sister and the mother It's even better yet But there's the joker in the street Loving one brother and killing the other When the time comes and we are really free There'll be no brothers left to see We people who are darker than blue don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish grown up shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where its at?
