Run Charlie Run

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming!

The niggers are coming!

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming!

The niggers are coming!

I watch you go to church on Sunday

Then you forget all you learned on Monday

You see your smiling face can't hide

How you hate your brother inside

So I'ma telling you

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming! (the niggers are coming!)

Run, Charlie, run

The niggers are coming!

The niggers are coming!

But the greatest wrong you know you've done

Is you passed this sickness onto your son

Your one and only boy

He came into this world with a mind so clean

You took it, molded it, and made it mean!

So I'ma telling you

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming! (the niggers are coming!)

Run, Charlie, run

The niggers are coming!

The niggers are coming!

You built this great big beautiful city

But you ran away and left it to die

What a pity

You could have made friends with your neighbor

But you are much too prejudiced to try

Tell me why!

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming! (the niggers are coming!)

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming! (the niggers are coming!)

Oh, don't try to leave what's part of you

'Cause it can't be done, yes, that is true

So God bless the hand that's calling you back, brother, well well

Whether it's gonna be red or black, oh

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming! (the niggers are coming!)

Run, Charlie, run

Look! The niggers are coming! (the niggers are coming!)

Run, Charlie, run

You better keep on running, Charlie

Run, Charlie, run

Run, Charlie, run

You better keep on running, Charlie
