Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yes, I's finished on y'all's farm lands
With yo' boll weevils and all
Pluckin' y'all's chickens
Fryin' mother's oats in grease
I's free now
Thanks to yo' Massa Lincoln
Emancipator of the slaves
[Verse 2]
Yes, I's finished on y'all's farm lands
With yo' boll weevils and all
Pluckin' y'all's chickens
Fryin' mother's oats in grease
I's free now
Thanks to yo' Massa Lincoln
Emancipator of the slaves
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Emanci-mother-fuckin'-pator of the slaves
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Emanci-mother-fuckin'-pator of the slaves
Slaves, slaves, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, bee-doo, wuh-wuh
Oh, bee-doo, wuh-wuh
[Verse 3]
Four score
I said four score and seven years ago
Oh, sock it to 'em, baby
You're sounding better all the time!
Our forefathers, I mean all our forefathers
Brought forth upon this here continent, a new nation
Oh, come on and stroke me, Stokely
Oh, conceived, conceived like we all was
In liberty, and dedicated to the one I love
I mean dedicated to the proposition
That all men, honey, I tell you all men
Are created equal
[Refrain]
Bee-doo, wuh-wuh
Oh, wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh
Happy birthday, Abie baby
Happy birthday to you
Yeah
Happy birthday, Abie baby
Happy birthday to you
Bang
[Outro]
Bang? Ha-ha, Bang?
Shit, I'm not dyin' for no white man!
