I just get so blue.Since you've been gone, baby”

“Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict. I have been in the heat of battle when colored men, asked me to protect them. I have placed myself between them and the bullets of my men, and told them they should be kept unharmed. Go to work, be industrious, live honestly and act truly, and when you are oppressed I'll come to your relief. I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for this opportunity you have afforded me to be with you, and to assure you that I am with you in heart and in hand.”

Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.

Just to watch him die.

I hang my head and cry.”

And how many times have you told me you were leaving?

And why, why are you constantly believing
That I, I could ever give you what you needed?
Baby, baby please don't put your faith in me.”
