Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart-a__ New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And 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 too much and we laugh too loud
We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town
We're keepin' the n_____s down

We got no-necked oilmen from Texas
And good ol' boys from Tennessee
And colleges men from LSU
Went in dumb, come out dumb too

Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin' drunk every weekend at the barbecues
We're keepin' the n_____s down

We're rednecks, we're rednecks
We don't know our a__ from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
We're keeping the n_____s down

Now your northern n_____'s a Negro
You see he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the n_____ 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
In the South-Side of Chicago, 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
Free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the n_____s down

We're rednecks, rednecks
And we don't know our a__ from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
We're keeping the n_____s down
We are keeping the n_____s down
