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.
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
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

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!
