Song for a Dark Girl

Song for a Dark Girl - Audra McDonald

Written by：Ricky Ian G.

Way down south in Dixie

Break the heart of me

They hung my black young lover

To a cross roads tree

Way down south in Dixie

Bruised body high in air

I asked the white lord Jesus

What was the use of prayer

Way down south in Dixie

Break the heart of me

Love is a naked shadow

On a gnarled and naked tree
