| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look, the niggers are coming | 
| Uh, the niggers is coming?! | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look, the niggers are coming | 
| The niggers is coming?! | 
| I watch you go to church on Sunday | 
| But you forget all you learned on Monday | 
| Well, you see your smiling face can’t hide | 
| Well well well, how you hate your brother inside | 
| So I’ma telling you | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look! | 
| The niggers is coming! | 
| (The niggers is coming?!) | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look! | 
| The niggers are coming! | 
| The niggers is coming?! | 
| But the greatest wrong you know you’ve done | 
| Is to pass 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 is coming?! | 
| (Don't stop, don’t stop now) | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look! | 
| The niggers are coming! | 
| The niggers is coming?! | 
| You built this great big beautiful city | 
| But you ran away and left it to die — oh, what a pity | 
| You could have made friends with your neighbors, yeah | 
| But you are much too prejudiced to try; | 
| tell me why | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look! | 
| The niggers are coming! | 
| The niggers is coming?! | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look! | 
| The niggers are coming! | 
| The niggers is 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 is coming! | 
| The niggers is coming?! | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Look! | 
| The niggers are coming! | 
| The niggers is coming?! | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Well, now, you better keep on running, Charlie | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Run on, run on now | 
| Run, Charlie, run | 
| Well well, you better keep on running, well | 
| Run, Charlie, run |

| Hey hey hey, you better keep on running | 
| Run, Charlie, run |
