Say God made us all He made some at night That's why he didn't take time To make us all white [Chorus:] I'm bound to change my name I have to paint my face So I won't be kin To that Ethiopian race Say now let me tell you one thing That a Stumptown n*gger will do He'll pull up on young cotton And he'll kill baby chickens too (Chorus) Say when God made me Say the moon was givin' light I'm so doggone sorry He didn't finish me up white (Chorus) Say now when God made people He done pretty well But when he made a jet black n*gger He made them some hell (Chorus) Say God took a ball of mud When he got ready to make man When he went to make you partner I believe it slipped out his hand (Chorus)
