HCey Nelly NAmellCy, lAmook at wGhat I Amsee
He's riDmding into town on a sAmway back mule
Got a Dmtall black hat and he lAmooks like a fool
He sDmure is talkin' like he's been Fto scGhool,
And it's Am185G3 Am
[Verse 2]
HCey Nelly AmNelCly, listen what heAm's Csayin'
HCey Nelly NAmellCy, hAme says iGt's gettin' lAmate
Says Dmall them black folks shAmould all be free
To wDmalk around the same as Amyou and me
He'sDm talkin' 'bout a thing he calls demFocrGacy,
And it's Am185G8 Am
[Verse 3]
HCey Nelly AmNelCly, hear the band Ama pClaying
HCey Nelly NAmellCy, hAmand me dGown myAm gun

Cause it's Am186G1 Am
[Verse 4]
HCey Nelly AmNelCly, Come to the wiAmndoCw
HCey Nelly NAmellCy, IAm've come baGck aAmlive

And it's Am186G5 Am
[Verse 5]
HCey Nelly AmNelCly, come to the wiAmndoCw
HCey Nelly NAmellCy, lAmook at wGhat I sAmee

They're mDmarchin' in a column that's a ceAmntury wide
It's still a lDmong and a hard and a bloFody rGide,
And it's Am196G3 Am
