0:18We people who are darker than blue
0:24Are we gonna stand around this town
0:28And let what others say come true
0:32We're just good for nothing they all figure
0:36A boyish grown up shiftless jigger
0:40Now we can't hardly stand for that
0:44Or is that really where it's at
0:49We people who are darker than blue
0:56This ain't no time for segregatin'
0:59I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two
1:04High yellow girl can't you tell
1:08You're just the surface of our dark deep well
1:12If your mind could really see
1:16You'd know your color the same as me
1:20Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory
1:28I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
3:04Get yourself together learn to know your side
3:08Shall we commit our own genocide
3:12Before you check out your mind
3:14I know we've all got problems
3:17That's why I'm here to say
3:19Keep peace with me and I with you
3:22Let me love in my own way
4:21Now I know we have great respect
4:26For the sister and mother it's even better yet
4:34But there's the joker in the street
4:38Loving one brother and killing the other
4:42When the time comes and we are really free
4:46There'll be no brothers left you see
4:51We people who are darker than blue
4:57Don't let us hang around this town
5:01And let what others say come true
5:05We're just good for nothing they all figure
5:10A boyish grown up shiftless jigger
5:13Now we can't hardly stand for that
5:17Or is that really where it's at
5:25Pardon me brother while you stand in your glory
5:33I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
5:41Pardon me brother I know we've come a long long way
5:48But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an
5:55An even brighter day
