Nigger Hatin' Me

David Allan Coe · Other Songs - David Allan Coe

I like sugar and I like tea

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.
