Ethel been done told you ignant jiggaboos what was up way back there in 1930;
All the race fellas crave high yella Gentlemen prefer them light I'm just another spvde who can't make the grade Nothing but dark days in sight
Cold, empty bed, springs hard as lead Pains in my head, feel like old Ned What did I do to be so black and blue? ... 'Cause you're black, boys think you lack They laugh at you, and scorn you too What did I do to be so black and blue? ... How sad I am, each day I feel worse My mark of Ham seems to be a curse, oh
How will it end? can't get a boyfriend My only sin is my skin
