Song for a Dark Girl, text by Langston Hughes and set by Ricky Ian Gordon

Text:
Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover To a cross roads tree.

Way Down South in Dixie (Bruised body high in air)
I asked the white Lord Jesus What was the use of prayer.

Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me)
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree.
