Don't Like a Rich White Man Nohow

'Negro Song.' Contributed by William B. Covington, November 17,
1913, with note: "Reminiscence of my early youth spent in the country
on the border of the sand liills of Scotland County."

1 Don't like a rich white man nohow.
Don't like a rich white man nohow.

Head like a boss, and he tries to be de boss,
An' I don't like a rich white man nohow.

2 Don't like a poor white man nohow.
Don't like a poor white man nohow,
Head like a mule, an' he tries to act a fool,
An' I don't like a poor white man nohow.
