Blackpatch Lyrics by Laura Nyro

Time and Love: The Essential Masters

0

[Verse 1]
Invitations to my party
Send Jones an inviting card
He got his mean streak from the gutter
Got his kindness from God

[Verse 2]
Now tugboats paint the river
Carry coal to the city and white dock liners
Happiness on the uptown side
At my party in the morning tide (Party in the morning)

[Chorus]
Ooh, la la la, blackpatch
Ooh, la la la, blackpatch
Ooh, la la la, blackpatch
In blackpatch, in blackpatch

[Verse 3]
Clothespins on wash ropes
Window to window tie
Socks and bells and nightgowns (Socks and bells and)
Tassels in the morning (Tassels in the morning)
Tassels in the morning sky

[Bridge]
People are you ready? (Ready, ready)
People are you tryin'?
Ready, ready (Ready)
Ready, ready
Tell me I've been thinkin' (Ready, ready)
Tell me I've been thinkin'

[Verse 4]
Woman child on the side street
Flashing in blackpatch
Lipstick on her reefer
Waiting for a match
