two star tabernacle- Lily White Mama and Jet Black Daddy

[adubon]

Both lily white and jet black are common adjectives like beet red or ocean blue. Mainly, this song deals with the pressure of a mulatto in being accepted within either of black and/or white communities. It's dark humor in an up-beat song.

I know why you'd be confused, because Jack called Meg lily white as he introduced her during the "In the Cold, Cold Night @ bonnaroo". Though, there's no relation.

who's Lily White? That's like Meg's nickname from jack, right? I've heard him call her Lily White b4.
