Song for a Dark Girl

Lyrics

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.
