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

 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
