Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show With some smart ass New York Jew And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too Well, he may be a fool but he's our fool If they think they're better than him, they're wrong So I went to the park and I took some paper along And that's where I made this song We talk real funny down here We drink too much and we laugh too loud We're too dumb to make it no Northern town We keepin' the niggers down We got no-necked oilmen from Texas And good ol' boys from Tennessee And college men from L.S.U. Went in dumb, come out dumb too Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes Gettin' drunk every weekend at the barbecues We keepin' the niggers down We're rednecks, we're rednecks We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground We're rednecks, we're rednecks We keepin' the niggers down Now your northern n*gger's a Negro You see, he's got his dignity Down here we're too ignorant to realize That the North has set the n*gger free Yes, he's free to be put in a cage in Harlem in New York City And he's free to be put in a cage In the South-Side of Chicago, the West-Side And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around Keepin' the niggers down We're rednecks, we're rednecks We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground We're rednecks, we're rednecks We keepin' the niggers down We are keepin' the niggers down
