White Tattoo

White Tattoo - Nancy Sinatra

If I was a black girl in this State

I'd turn my head I'd learn how to hate

But I know a woman her name is Andie

Got two kids Paula and Candy

They hold their heads up and look at you

And they will not wear a white tattoo

If I was a red girl in this land

I'd hold an arrow in my hand

But I know a woman her name is Jessie

Never knew a woman with so much yes she

Let me look in to her eyes

And I did not see a white disguise

I don't know

If I could be

Living in that cage

And still be free

'Cause I am a white girl I'll not hide

I'll bear no shame but I'll carry no pride

But open the door and cut the wire

Melt the ice and drown the fire

We got to go on were not through

'Till everyone has washed away the white tattoo

And everyone has washed away the white tattoo

I just don't know

If I could ever be

Living in that cage

And still and still be free

'Cause I am a white girl I'll not hide

I'll bear no shame but I'll carry no pride

But open the door and cut the wire

Melt the ice and drown the fire

We got to go on were not through

'Till everyone has washed away the white tattoo

And everyone has washed away the white tattoo

And everyone has washed away the white tattoo
