eddy grant – cockney black lyrics
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh…
oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh…
(yeah)
oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh…)
i would rather be white
and live in a shack
rather than live in a palace
and be called a c-ckney black
yeah, one more time
i would rather be white
and live in a shack
rather than live in a palace
and be called a c-ckney black, yeah
lord, i don’t have a witness
only your eyes alone can see
i don’t mind the troubles
just let me have some peace, yeah
(i don’t have a witness)
the more i seem to go forward
harder the road seems to be
oh, why can’t you treat me like a man
instead of treating the color of me
(i don’t have a witness)
oh, i say, i would rather be white
and live in a shack
rather than live in a palace
and be called a c-ckney black
one more time
oh, i would rather be white
and live in a shack
rather than live in a palace
and be called a c-ckney black
alright, alright
oh, oh-oh, yeah
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh…
ooh, yeah, baby, baby
oh, standing on the corner
simple as it may seem
lord, i don’t know just where i stand
lord, i don’t know where i stand
lord, i don’t know just where i stand
stand, stand, stand
lord, i, lord, i, lord, i, lord, i
lord, i don’t know where i stand, oh, yeah
i would rather be white
and live in a shack
oh, rather than live in a palace
and be called a c-ckney black…
