We people who are darker than blue

Don't let us stand 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

They got no time for segregating

I'm talking `bout brown and yellow too

High yellow gal can't you tell

I'm just the surface of our

Dark deep well

If your mind could really see

You'd know your color same as me

Pardon me brother

As you stand in your glory

I know you 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 you 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 it's at

Pardon me brother

As you stand in your glory

I know you won't mind

Now I know

We have great respect

For the sister and the mother

It's even better yetIf I tell the whole story
