Johnny Rebel - Some Niggers Never Die (They Just Smell That Way) lyrics

The other day I took a fishin' trip

Just me and my boat, and no Banjo lip

Banjo was my guide, an old colored feller

He wasn't very dark, he was a high-steppin' yeller

So we launched my boat, and I cranked my motor

And up to my nose came a terrible odor

I looked around, tryin' to find somethin' dead

But it was Banjo with his arm up, scratchin' his head

Some niggers never die

They just smell that 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 dine

My nose was-a-runnin, and my eyes were-a-cryin'

The smell scorched the hair right out of my nose

When I got home I had to burn all my clothes

Some niggers never die

They just smell that way

I recooperated 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 and I was ferocious

'Cause it was hot and that nigger was-a-sweatin' on my groceries

Some niggers never die

They just smell that way

The vegetables and greens I bought started wilting

My blood pressure rose, and that could've killed me

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 coulda whipped that nigger, 'cept he used germ warfare

So from now on I'll carry a long, long stick

'Cause if I can keep from the smell, then I'll have 'em licked

Some niggers never die

They just smell that way
