Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
We talk real funny down here
We drink too much, we laugh too loud
We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town
We're keeping the **** down
[Verse 4]
We got no-necked oil men from Texas
Good Ol' Boys from Tennessee
College men from LSU
Went in dumb, come out dumb, too
Hustling 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Getting drunk every weekend at the barbecues
They're keeping the **** down
[Verse 5]
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 **** down
[Verse 6]
Now, your Nothern ****'s a "Negro"
You see, he's got his dignity
But down here, we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the **** free
[Verse 7]
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 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 the Fillmore in San Fransisco
And he's free to be put in a cage in the Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' them up for miles around
Keeping the **** down
[Verse 8]
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 **** down
We are keeping the **** down
