The Battle of Maxton Field

Now brave the Klansmen rallied there In Maxton town that night\nAll armed with knives and pistol guns and honin' for a fight\nOh, rally round, you Klansmen bold, but do not show your face\nWe’ll burn the fiery cross tonight and save the Nordic race\nOh, the Klan, Oh the Klan\nIt calls on ev’ry red blood fighting man\nWho is free and white and bigot, gets his courage from a spigot\nAnd protects his racial purity the very best he can\nThe Indians, the Indians, they are our natural foe\nThey lure our girls with coke and pie, and take them to the show\nThey wear blu jeans and leather coats, but anyon can see\nThey are not real Americans, the like of you and me\nThe heroes left their stores and plows, their pool-halls and their bars\nAnd in their gallant hooded shirts, they drove up in their cars\nFor in this grave emergency that mustered every soul\nWho should appear to lead the fight but Wizard Jimmy Kole\nNow as the cars were drawing in an ominous sound was heard\nWas that an Indian battle cry or just a gooney bird?\nIs that a gooney bird I see or Grandpa’s fighting cock\nOr is it a Lumbee war-bonnet that comes from Chimney Rock\nThe headlights shone, the Klansmen stood in circle brave and fine\nWhen suddenly a whoop was heard that curdled every spine\nAn Indian youth with steely eyes, he sauntered in alone\nHe calmly drew his shootin' iron and conked the microphone
