Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
with some smart-ass New York Jew.
MIm7 SOL(add LA)/SI LA7/DO#And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
DO/RE SOLsus4/RE SOLand the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too.
Well, he may be a fool, but he's our fool.
MIm7 SOL(add LA)/SI LA7/DO#If they think they're better than him, they're wrong.
MIm7 MIm7/RE DO LA7/DO#So I went to the park and I took some paper along
and that's where I made this song.
Verse 1:
SOL RE7 SOL RE7We talk real funny down here.
We drink too much and we laugh too loud.
SOL RE/FA# MIm7We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town,
LA7 DO/RE SOL RE7and we're keepin' the niggers down.
We got no-necked oilmen from Texas,
SOL RE7 SOL RE7good ol' boys from Tennessee,
SOL RE/FA# MIm7college men from L.S.U.
Went in dumb, come out dumb too.
SOL RE/FA# MIm7Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes.
SOL RE/FA# MIm7Gettin' drunk ev'ry weekend at the barbuques,
and they're keepin' the niggers down.
We're Rednecks, we're Rednecks,
and we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.
SOL RE7 SOL RE7We're Rednecks, we're Rednecks,
LA7 DO/RE SOLand we're are keeping the niggers down.
(last time only--slowly)
We are keepin' the niggers down.
Verse 2:
Now your Northern nigger's a Negro
You 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 on the South side of Chicago and
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.
