White Rhythm and Blues Lyrics
I don't want you to hold me tight
Till you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold
She said
All I need is black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
You say that somebody really loves you
You'd find her if you just knew how
But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now
Wishin' for
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
You can close your eyes
And sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do
Oh, the night time sighs and I hear myself
But the words just stick in my throat
Don't you think that a man like me
Might hurt much more than it shows
Just send me black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
I need some white rhythm and blues
I need Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Just play a little hillbilly rhythm and blues
[Trail With Chorus]
Till you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold
All I need is black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
You'd find her if you just knew how
But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do
But the words just stick in my throat
Don't you think that a man like me
Might hurt much more than it shows
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
I need some white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose

I interpret this as being sung by a woman (probably black) who is in love with a man (probably white), who, however, only considers her a friend, and dreams of finding his true love. They have just had sex, but she doesn't wish to cling to him or want him to stay all night, rather only until the glow wears off. As he sleeps, she speaks about her pain, wishing she had someone who would sympathize with her situation.
