You take mah labor
An’ steal mah time
Give me ol’ dish pan
An’ a lousy dime
‘Cause I’m a nigger, dat’s why
White man, white man
Sit in de shade
Heah in de hot sun
I sweat wid his spade
‘Cause I’m a nigger, dat’s why
I feel it comin’, Cap’n
Goin’ see you in Goddamn
Take mah pick an’ shovel
Bury you in Debbil’s lan’
‘Cause I’m a nigger dat’s why.
An’ steal mah time
Give me ol’ dish pan
An’ a lousy dime
‘Cause I’m a nigger, dat’s why
White man, white man
Sit in de shade
Heah in de hot sun
I sweat wid his spade
‘Cause I’m a nigger, dat’s why
I feel it comin’, Cap’n
Goin’ see you in Goddamn
Take mah pick an’ shovel
Bury you in Debbil’s lan’
‘Cause I’m a nigger dat’s why.
