They Be Descendants of the Confederacy

They Be The Descendants Of The Confederacy By Roy Merritt Way down here in the land of cotton A great many people are mean and rotten A great many of them are foul you see They be descendants of the Confederacy They love that flag the Stars and Bars Fly it from their trucks fly it from their cars Some wear hoods only their eyes you see They be descendants of the Confederacy They be fools who feed on hate They be fools a bunch of stupid ingrates They be people who vote for poverty They be descendants of the Confederacy They want to go backward fast not slow They want to go back to days of Jim Crow They want to hate blacks burning crosses to see They be descendants of the Confederacy They no longer like the Democrats Cos’ now they the party of the working class Republicans the ones who feed their treachery They now the party of the Confederacy They fell for their lies the Republican scam Thinking these Republicans ever gave damn Ever gave a damn for their future you see They be descendants of the Confederacy Way down here below the Mason Dixon They love our food our Christian tradition The notion they’re kind full of hospitality They be descendants of the Confederacy Way down here in the land of cotton A great many people are mean and rotten A great many of them are foul you see They be the descendants of the Confederacy The ugly descendants of the Confederacy The truly ugly descendants of the Confederacy
