Song for a Dark Girl -Leyla McCalla
Way down south in Dixie
Break the heart of me
They hung my black young lover
To a crossroads tree
Way down south in Dixie
Bruised body high in the air
I asked the white Lord Jesus
What was the use of prayer
Way down south in Dixie
Break the heart of me
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree
Way down south in Dixie
Break the heart of me
They hung my black young lover
To a crossroads tree
Way down south in Dixie
Bruised body high in the air
I asked the white Lord Jesus
What was the use of prayer
Way down south in Dixie
Break the heart of me
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree
