  • Pre>(capo I)
  • Am dm
  • Just across the railroad tracks
  • Am g
  • On the far side of the town
  • Am dm
  • All the people there are black
  • Am g
  • And they live in colored town
  • Am
  • Colored town
  • Speeding cars down the highway run
  • They never stop to look around
  • One place that the highway shuns
  • And that place is colored town
  • Colored town
  • On the sidewalk children play
  • In the gutters watch them clown
  • White world is so far away
  • So far away from colored town
  • Colored town
  • The owners of the local stores
  • Owners of the local ground
  • Theyre walking on a finer floor
  • Skins too white for colored town
  • Colored town
  • In the early of the day
  • For the white homes they are bound
  • As a janitor, as a maid
  • They leave their place in colored town
  • Colored town
  • Come the evening, come the wine
  • Come the dancing music sound
  • Liquor knows no color line
  • Not even down in colored town
  • Colored town
  • A prison with no prison guards
  • Where no padlocks can be found
  • A jail without cells and bars
  • But youll never escape from colored town
  • Colored town
  • Come lets open all the doors
  • From birmingham to harlems ground
  • From jackson to chicagos shores
  • Lets take a look at colored town
  • Colored town
  • Come take a look at colored town
  • Colored town
  • /pre>
