Audra McDonald - Song for a Dark Girl lyrics
[Audra McDonald - Song for a Dark Girl lyrics]
Way Down South in Dixie
(Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover
To a cross roads tree
Way Down South in Dixie
(Bruised body high in 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
(Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover
To a cross roads tree
Way Down South in Dixie
(Bruised body high in 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
