[Verse 1]
Charlotte she lingered and lived in the shadows
Helping Mother in the kitchen for hours and hours
Avoiding the charmers, Svengalis and Lords
I sing for the shy girl over minor chords
Blues in gray
[Verse 2]
In a dream she ascended outside of her body
She looked down below her to the white fields of cotton
And she realized, she realized
Her dream was long forgotten
[Verse 3]
She peers out a mouse hole to an alternate world
To her great, great granddaughters behind her
And she whispers, she hollers
"Know freedom from blues in gray"
[Outro]

She looked down below her to the white fields of cotton
And she realized, she realized

To her great, great granddaughters behind her
And she whispers, she hollers
"Know freedom from blues in gray"
