Randy Newman — Rednecks (текст песни)
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show With some smart-ass 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 And we’re keepin’ the niggers 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 And they’re keepin’ the niggers down CHORUS We’re rednecks, rednecks And we don’t know our ass from a hole in the ground We’re rednecks, we’re rednecks And we’re keeping the niggers down 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
