Blackpatch Lyrics

Blackpatch lyrics

Invitations to my party
Send Jones an inviting card
He got his mean streak
from the gutter
Got his kindness from God

Now tugboats paint the
river
Carry coal to the city and white dock liners
Happiness on the
uptown side
Of my party in the morning tide

Ooh la la la
blackpatch
Ooh la la la blackpatch
In blackpatch, in
blackpatch.

Clothes spin on washropes
Window to window tie
Socks
and bells and nightgowns
Tassels in the morning sky.

People all
ready, ready
Ready ready,
Ready ready,
Ready ready,
I've been
trying, I've been thinking
I've been trying, I've been
thinking.

Womanchild on the side street
Flashing in
blackpatch
Lipstick on a reefer
Waiting For a match...
