Nigger Hatin' Me
David Allan Coe · Other Songs - David Allan Coe
but I don't like niggers, no sir-e
there are two lone things that'll make me puke
that's a hog eating slop and a big black spook
you know it, 'cuz I show it
like a barnyard rooster I crow it
and the NAACP would sure like to get
a hold of nigger hatin' me.
roses are red and violets are blue
niggers are black and you know that's true
but they don't mind 'cuz what the heck
you gotta' be black to get a welfare check.
..and I'm broke, no joke. I ain't got a nickle
for a coat and I ain't black you see, so Uncle
Sam won't help poor nigger hatin' me.
Jigga-boo Jigga-boo where are you? I was
here on the woodpile watching you. Jigga-boo
Jigga-boo come outdoors. No! I'sa scared of the
white man way down south.
You know it, 'cuz I show it. Stick your black
head out and I blow it and the NAACP can't keep
you away from 'lil 'ol nigger hatin' me.
Mirror mirror on the wall who is the blackest
of them all? A man named King it ain't no doubt
and he's causin' lots of trouble with his baboon
mouth. Oh no it's he's a done it, caused by the
trouble he's a brewin' and the NAACP can't win if
the white man stick with nigger hatin' me.
Hey Mr. President what'd ya say? When are we
whites gonna have our day? The niggers've had
theirs for such a long long time. I'm a white
and it's time that I had mine.
You know it, 'cuz I show it. Stick your black head
out and I blow it and the NAACP can't win if the
white man stick with nigger hatin' me.

Nigger Hatin' Me
David Allan Coe's 'Nigger Hatin' Me' stands as a stark example of his unapologetic, blues-infused storytelling that often challenged racial sensitivities. Recorded for the 1988 album *Other Songs*, the track exemplifies Coe's signature blend of country and rock, delivering a narrative steeped in the harsh realities of the American South. The song's provocative title and subject matter reflect Coe's willingness to confront uncomfortable truths about race and prejudice, a recurring theme throughout his discography. By weaving together gritty vocals with a driving rhythm, Coe transforms the song into a raw commentary on societal attitudes, cementing its place within his body of work known for its directness and lack of filter.
