Carolina QuotesHound dogs on my trail/School children sitting in jail/Black cat cross my path/I think every day's gonna be my last/Don't tell me, I'll tell you/Me and my people just about due/I've been there so I know/They keep on saying "Go slow!"

It was always Marx, Lenin, and revolution - real girl's talk.
the world is big/Big and bright and round/And it's full of folks like me/Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
