Am
Dm
She was black as the night
Am
Dm
Am
Blue, it was whiter than white
Danger, danger,
Dm
when you taste brown sugar
Em
Dm
Am
Louisville in love over wine
It was a storybook romance
Dm
They met in high school, sweethearts
Shared their first kiss on a slow dance
Am
They used to hold hands,
Dm
walkin' through the halls
Ignoring the glances and the rumors,
they had no chance
Am
They called him Wigga and
This corny white boy
shouldn't be datin' no sister
Dm
Am
but wouldn't say it to his face
People thought Louie was
a traitor to his race
Dm
Black and white, they both had is sues
Suzie got hated on for acting white
Am
So at lunch they were sitting in
Dm
the corner by themselves
You could tell that they didn't fit in
They might as well keep
Am
the whole thing hidden
it was damn near forbidden
If mom and dad knew they could
Dm
They would both be disowned
Am
To make things worse,
she was five months and shown
So they packed two bags
Dm
and eloped that night
That's the last time
that family ever spoke
Em
Cause the last thing they left
Dm
Am
when they bounced together
There was a note
on the dresser
saying goodbye but
Dm
I wasn't was black as the night
Am
Dm
Susie was whiter than white
Am
Dm
Danger, danger when you
sniff white powder
Em
Dm
Am
Louis fell in love overnight
They said she had jungle fever
Dm
But he was just saving the last dance
The whole hood thought that he
needed the CAT scan
Am
Suzie, when she walked in,
And Louie held the hand
all the brothers were givin'
it to him
Am
They yelled out, use us, sell out
Dm
But he was flying high on
the wings of love
With no button to bail out
Em
So they got hassled everywhere
Am
Even at church the pastor
laughed after sayin' amen
They were the laughingstock
Plus the talk of the
They got harassed simply
walkin' around
Am
Once the black girls find out
Dm
there was no talkin' them down
They used to hoot and fuss
Louie, you think you too
good for us?
Am
They called Suzie a nigga lover
After a couple of months,
it was too much to handle
Em
Dm
So they began to meet in secret,
they weren't in marriage
Am
But Suzie's parents found
a proposal to be indecent
And Louie's parents,
Dm
they feared for his life
Having crosses burned in the yard
that appeared in the night
Dm
but they refused to accept his statement
They knew about the relationship
and were blatantly racist
Am
The next day they found
Dm
Louie hung from a tree
In front of Suzie's house
for all the townspeople to see
Em
It was early one Sunday morning
Dm
Am
and during the ninth hour
With a note in his chest that said,
Respect White Power
Dm
Louie hadn't done any wrong
Am
Dm
Louie fell in love on his own
Am
Dm
Danger, danger when you
cross that border
Em
Dm
But Louie knew he wasn't alone
Am

Am
Dm
Am
Dm
You
