esther phillips - georgia rose lyrics

[intro]
you know, sisters?
there’s been far too few songs written about us and our beauty
and women of lesser understanding
might have become bitter through the years of neglect
but our faith in our men and ourselves is being rewarded
now, i’m not saying that the struggle is over
far+far from it
but there is a new day
and it promises to be a day of truth
truth about beauty
and the world will see how truly, sensitve
and beautiful, and wonderful we really are

[verse 1]
georgia rosе
georgia, georgia, georgia rosе
we’re the most precious rose
dixie grows
now some folks don’t think it’s right
’cause our skin is black as night
but we know, our hearts is showing up alright
to the good lord up above
we all look the same
so let’s not hang our heads down in shame, hmm
[verse 2]
georgia rose
georgia, georgia, georgia rose
we can’t be blue
’cause our skin is black
we can’t walk around now
with our heads down in shame
no, no, no
’cause our skin is pretty and black as night
we can’t be blue, uh+uh
no, no
we can′t be blue
’cause our skin is black

[outro]
georgia rose
georgia rose
