Passing Complexion

She was his (She was his)

She would take his children

Black and white

Like to her own breast

There were times (There were times)

When he could mix

With ordinary

White company (White company, white company)

But if the subject ever 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 (He'd been white, he'd been black)

If they asked him, "he liked white better"

(If they asked him, "he liked white better")
