Yellow Girl Blues

                                     for Jane King



My mama she done told me

she tell me every day

no mind your skin is yellow

you're a nigger anyway.


Yellow girl blues

yellow girl blues

I walking on the muddy road

in my sampata shoes.


So I grew up a nigger

please check on my behind,

my mouth, my nose, my curly

hair— I'm glad to know my kind.


Yellow girl blues

yellow girl blues.

I walking on the muddy road

in my sampata shoes.


And I go to America

and join in all the fights

sit in and demonstrate

and go to jail for Civil Rights.


Yellow girl blues

yellow girl blues.

I walk through so much macca

there's holes in all my shoes.


Dr King say it don't matter

he say we all is one —

the hose don't know the difference

nor the truncheon, nor the gun.


Yellow girl blues

yellow girl blues.

I feel the firewater

as it soak in through my shoes.


Now I come north to Canada

my story it is true

they look me in my face and say

"White woman, who is you?"


Yellow girl blues

yellow girl blues.

I walking in the macca still

and my own take away my shoes.

Another Thing That Annoys Me


The spelling of 40. We have four and fourteen, and then, for

no reason I know of, the u is dropped and we're left with forty,

not to mention the schizophrenic forty-four. Most annoying, as

Sei Shōnagon would say.
