My Wise Country Cousin on Unca Jim

by Raymond Nat Turner

Now, jus’ ‘bout ebry time I hear dat ol’ clown,

Ohhh, Unca Jim Clyburn, he gimme heartburn

He jus lak ol’ Steben in de movie, Jango—

Baysicklee, he jus’ anotha white house hoe…

 

Mah gut tell me Negroz lak him canint be trusted

Cuz dey morull compuzez is gilded an’ busted,

Sumpin’ lak Long Dong, an’ de Uppity Blakz,

Dey ‘bout getting’ paid an’ de sub-contrakz

Look lak dat de partee-line dat dey all toe—

Unca Jim, Al, Cory, Fas Mouf—Malbow!

Neber mine, de peeples babies is dyin’…

Dese Negroz co-signin’ spyin’ an’ lyin’—

Bet Dem Negroz eben grew a lynchin’ tree,

Wit broun Big Brotha & de Holder Cumpunee?
