JIM CROW (for EARL MAL)

“I’m just a redneck motherfucker;
But don’t mean I ain’t got no brains,
So don’t think I’m some fucked Klu Kluker
Believes the blacks ride gravy trains
Into the land a Hallelujah.
Us good ole boys can sometimes fool ya.
I worked with coloreds in the mines.
We’re all dogs there. A man’s bloodlines
Don’t count for shit when you’re a worker.
You either pull your load or don’t.
Ain’t never heard a black say, “Won’t.”
Knew one ole boy, a stone berserker,
So kind a hard to get to know,
Taught me to hate this guy Jim Crow.”
