Rednecks

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
