[00:17.275]We people who are darker than blue
[00:23.298]Are we gonna stand around this town
[00:27.563]And let what others say come true?
[00:31.829]We're just good for nothing, they all figure
[00:35.847]A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger
[00:39.611]Now we can't hardly stand for that
[00:43.627]Or is that really where it's at?
[00:48.153]We people who are darker than blue
[00:55.427]This ain't no time for segregatin'
[00:59.189]I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow, too
[01:03.454]High yellow gal, can't you tell
[01:07.469]You're just the surface of our dark, deep well?
[01:11.485]If your mind could really see
[01:15.248]You'd know your color the same as me
[01:19.513]Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
[01:27.292]I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[03:03.365]Get yourself together, learn to know your sign
[03:08.385]Shall we commit our own genocide
[03:11.397]Before you check out your mind?
[03:13.904]I know we've all got problems
[03:16.916]That's why I'm here to say
[03:19.173]Keep peace with me and I with you
[03:22.185]Let me love in my own way
[04:20.228]Now I know we have great respect
[04:25.999]For the sister
[04:28.276]And mother, it's even better yet
[04:33.546]But there's the joker in the street
[04:37.060]Loving one brother and killing the other
[04:41.828]When the time comes and we are really free
[04:45.841]There'll be no brothers left, you see
[04:51.134]We people who are darker than blue
[04:57.156]Don't let us hang around this town
[05:00.670]And let what others say come true
[05:04.935]We're just good for nothing, they all figure
[05:08.951]A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger
[05:13.218]Now we can't hardly stand for that
[05:16.982]Or is that really where it's at?
[05:25.264]Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
[05:31.788]I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[05:39.569]Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
[05:48.352]But let us not be so satisfied
[05:51.866]For tomorrow can be an
[05:55.380]An even brighter day

We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true?
We're just good for nothing, they all figure
A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at?
We people who are darker than blue
This ain't no time for segregatin'
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow, too
High yellow gal, can't you tell
You're just the surface of our dark, deep well?
If your mind could really see
You'd know your color the same as me
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
Get yourself together, learn to know your sign
Shall we commit our own genocide
Before you check out your mind?
I know we've all got problems
That's why I'm here to say
Keep peace with me and I with you
Let me love in my own way
Now I know we have great respect
