Intro:  C  D  G   
 
Verse 1: 
 
G                      C 
The other day I took a fishin' trip  
 
D                    G 
Just me an' my boat, and ol' Banjo-lip  
 
                    C 
Banjo was my guide, an old colored fella'  
 
D                    G 
He wasn't very dark, he was a high-steppin' yella'  
 
                        C 
So we launched my boat, and I cranked my motor  
 
D                      G   
And up to my nose came a terrible odor  
 
                            C 
I looked all around trying to find something dead  
 
D                                G 
But it was Banjo with his arm up, scratching his head.  

D                       C         D          G 
Some niggers never die, they just smell that way.   
 
 
Verse 2: 
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 
 
Verse 3: 
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  
 
Verse 4: 
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
