Chapter 6 Cross

My old man is a white old man And my old mothers black. If ever I cursed my white old man I take my curses back. If ever I cursed my black old mother And wished she were in hell, Im sorry for that evil wish And now I wish her well My old man died in a fine big house. My ma died in a shack. I wonder were Im going to die, Being neither white nor black?
