歌词
Last night
I saw Lester
Maddox on a
TV showWith 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
TexasAnd good ol' boys from
TennesseeAnd 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 nigger's a
NegroYou see, he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the nigger 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-SideAnd 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
BostonThey'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
