Lyrics for Song: Rednecks
Lyrics for Album: The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol 1 [2003]
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on the tv show
With some smart-ass New York jew
The jew laughed at Lester Maddox
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 to much, we laugh too loud
We're too dumb to make it in no northern town
We're keeping the niggers down
We got no-neck oil men from Texas
Good ol' boys from Tennessee
College men from LSU
Went in dumb, come out dumb too
Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Getting drunk every weekend at the barbecue
We're keeping 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're keeping the niggers down
Well your northern nigger's a negro
You see, he's got his dignity
Down here we too ignorant to realize
The north has set the nigger free
Yes, he's free to be put in a cage in Harlem, New York City
He's free to be put in a cage in 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
We're gatherin' them up for miles around
We're keeping 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're keeping the nigger down
