1
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
2
With some smart ass New York Jew
3
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
4
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
5
Well he may be a fool but he's our fool
6
If they think they're better than him they're wrong
7
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
8
And that's where I made this song
9
We talk real funny down here
10
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
11
We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town
12
And we're keepin' the niggers down
13
We got no-necked oilmen from Texas
14
And good ol' boys from Tennessee
15
And colleges men from LSU
16
Went in dumb. Come out dumb too
17
Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
18
Gettin' drunk every weekend at the barbecues
19
And they're keepin' the niggers down
20
[Chorus:]
21
We're rednecks, rednecks
22
And we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
23
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
24
And we're keeping the niggers down
25
Now your northern nigger's a Negro
26
You see he's got his dignity
27
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
28
That the North has set the nigger free
29
Yes he's free to be put in a cage
30
In Harlem in New York City
31
And he's free to be put in a cage on the South-Side of Chicago
32
And the West-Side
33
And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
34
And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
35
And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
36
And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
37
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
38
Keepin' the niggers down
39
[Chorus]
