Black And Evil Lyrics by Lightnin’ Hopkins

Lightnin’!

0

Yeah you know I'm black and I'm evil
Black man didn' make hisself
You know I'm black and I'm evil
But the black man did not make hisself
Well, you know the same god that made me
That man made everybody else

I went to church last night
Called on me to pray
Fell down on my knees, Old Lightnin'd
Forgot just what to say
But I said I'm
Black and evil
This black man did not make hisself
Well you know the same god that made me
That man made everybody else

[Instrumental]

Went to church last night
Called on me to pray
Fell down on my knees and I
Forgot just what to say
But I said I'm

Black and evil
Yet I did not make myself
The same god that made me
That black man made everybody else
