Black Myself

I wanna jump the fence and wash my face in the creek But I'm black myself I wanna sweep that girl right off her feet But I'm black myself I'm tired of walkin' 'round with no shoes on 'Cause I'm black myself And your precious God ain't gonna bless me 'Cause I'm black myself Is you washed in the blood of your chattel? 'Cause the lamb's rotted away When they stopped shipping work horses They bred their own anyway, ooh Black myself I don't pass the test of the paper bag 'Cause I'm black myself I pick the banjo up and they sneer at me 'Cause I'm black myself You better lock your doors when I walk by 'Cause I'm black myself You look me in my eyes but you don't see me 'Cause I'm black myself Is you washed in the blood of your chattel? 'Cause the lamb's rotted away When they stopped shipping work horses They bred their own anyway, ooh Black myself Black myself I don't creep around, I stand proud and free 'Cause I'm black myself I go anywhere that I wanna go 'Cause I'm black myself (black myself) I'm surrounded by many lovin' arms 'Cause I'm black myself (black myself) And I'll stand my ground and smile in your face 'Cause I'm black myself I washed away my blood and tears I've been born brand new There's no more work horses But still some work to do, yeah 'Cause I'm black myself (black myself) 'Cause I'm black myself (black myself) 'Cause I'm black myself, black myself Black myself, black myself, black myself (black myself) Black myself, black myself 'Cause I'm black my-, black my- Black myself
