Georgia Rose Lyrics - Alone Again Naturally - Esther Phillips

You know sisters 

There's been far too few songs written about us and our beauty. 

And women of lesser understanding might have become bitter through the years of neglect. 

But our faith in our men and ourselves is being rewarded. 

Now I'm not saying that the struggle is over, far, far from it, 

but there is a new day 

and it promises to be a day of truth. 

Truth about beauty 

And the world will see 

How truly sensitve and and beautiful and wonderful 

We really are 

Georgia Rose 

Georgia 

Georgia 

Georgia Rose 

We're the most precious rose, Dixie grows. 

Now some folks don't think it's right, 

'Cause our skin is black as night, 

But we know our hearts 

Is showing up alright. 

To the good Lord up above, 

We all look the same. 

So let's not hang our heads down in shame 

Georgia Rose, 

Georgia 

Georgia 

Georgia Rose 

We can't be blue 

'Cause our skin is black 

We can't walk around now 

With our heads down In shame 

No no no 

'Cause our skin is pretty and black as night. 

We can't be blue. 

Ah ah 

No no 

We can't be blue, 

'Cause our skin is black.
