Run, nigger, run, the paterollers catch you.
Run, nigger, run, it’s almost day.
Run, nigger, run, the paterollers catch you.
Run, nigger, run, it’s almost day.
The nigger run, the nigger flew;
The nigger lost his wedding shoe.
Run, nigger, run, the paterollers catch you.
Run, nigger, run, it’s almost day.
