Some Niggers Never Die

[C]  [D]  [G]
[G]The other day I took a [C]fishin' trip
[D]Just me an' my boat, [G]and ol' Banjo-lip
Banjo was my guide, [C]an old colored fella'
[D]He wasn't very dark, [G]he was a high-steppin' yella'
So we launched my boat, [C]and I cranked my motor
[D]And up to my nose came [G]a terrible odor
I looked all around trying t[C]o find something dead
[D]But it was Banjo with his arm up,[G] scratching his head.
[D]Some niggers never die, [C]they just [D]smell that [G]way.

Now the more he'd scratch, the more he'd sweat
And I'm here to say, he was a-chokin' me to death
So we loaded up, I just couldn't go on
And I coughed and I gagged-all the way home.
When I dropped him off, I was next to dyin'
My nose was a' running, and my eyes were a' cryin'.
The smell scorched the hair right out of my nose,
And when I got home, I had to burn all my clothes!

Repeat Chorus

I recuperated quick, I was thankful for that
I was only in bed for a week and a half.
The very first day I was up on my feet.
I went to the supermarket, down the street.
I shopped all around, and I filled out my order,
My groceries were bagged by a fat nigger porter.
The air conditioner was broke, an' I was ferocious
Cause' it was hot, and that nigger was a-sweatin' on my groceries!

Repeat Chorus

The vegetable and greens I bought started wilting
My blood pressure rose, and I could have killed him!
I was gonna smash him all over that place,
But he raised up his arm, and I fell on my face!
Now I'm here in the hospital, and at the ceiling I stare,
I could have whipped that nigger, except he used germ warfare!
So from now on, I'll carry a long, long stick,
Cause if I keep from the smell, then I'll have him licked!

Repeat Chorus
