Big Black

He'd been white, he'd been black.

They asked him: black like that?

You say you're cultured 'cause you had a king?

Your little boys sleep with their sisters!

You just best believe I'm the only girl in your life

I'll bring you sugar in the morning and the sweet stuff you eat at night

You just believe when it comes down to making love

I'll satisfy your every need and every fantasy you dream of

When you need some piece of mind

Just call for me anytime

I'll keep you happy and so satisfied

My house

The only good policeman is a dead one,

The only good laws aren't enforced.

A Indian man

Displeased with the size of his wife's dowry.

Engineers a cooking fire,

Destroys her in his home.

Ought to know, what I liar I am,

Ought to know, me by now.

Don't curse me for my nature,

Don't blast me for my wrongs.

She was his,

She would take his children:

Black and white,

Right to her own breast.

There were times,

When he could mix

With ordinary white company.

And if the subject never came up,

No one would notice,

He had what they call passing complexion.
