Lyrics for Passing Complexion
She was his She would take his children Black and white Right to her own breast There were times When he could mix With ordinary white company Though? the subject never came up No one would notice He had what they call passing complexion He had what they call passing complexion He had what they call passing complexion He had what they call passing complexion He'd been white, he'd been black They asked him, black like that? Yeah!
