Got a pin up girl,
Got a sweet black angel,
Up upon my wall.
Well, she ain't no singer
And she ain't no star,
But she sure talk good,
And she move so fast.
But the gal in danger,
Yeah, de gal in chains,
But she keep on pushin',
Would ya take her place?
She countin' up de minutes,
She countin' up de days,
She's a sweet black angel, woh,
Not a sweet black slave.
Ten little niggers
Sittin' on de wall,
Her brothers been a fallin',
Fallin' one by one.
For a judges murder
In a judges court,
Now de judge he gonna judge her
For all dat he's worth.
Well de gal in danger,
De gal in chains,
But she keep on pushin'
Would you do the same?
She countin' up de minutes,
She countin' up de days,
She's a sweet black angel,
Not a gun toting teacher,
Not a Red lovin' school mom,
Ain't someone gonna free her,
Free de sweet black slave,
Free de sweet black slave.

No we're good.
Play it.
NO that was NEEGER. Totally different.
I feel that way about the Beatles. Can't stand them.
Don't sweat it. I feel the same way about Rush.
Wow... this thread has turned into a real pity party for the h8rs.
Further Details:
The song was released in the US on 24 April 1972[6] and peaked at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100
Due to its use of an offensive racial epithet and what was perceived as an inappropriate comparison of women's rights to the oppression of African-Americans, most radio stations in the US declined to play the record.[5]
the song - and its use of the “N” word as a device to express how shabbily women were treated in society - was a cause actively championed by a plethora of African-American civil rights activists in 1972 - including humorist Dick Gregory and Ron Dellums - Chairman and Co-Founder of The Congressional Black Caucus.
The National Organization for Women awarded Lennon and Ono a "Positive Image of Women" citation for the song's "strong pro-feminist statement" in August 1972.[9]

The should, Romeo. and they should be dancing to it. How come you're a "former member"? We still love you.
Thank you! Hope you are having a marvelous time right this minute...
I got burned at the stake here in paradise by an angry mob of unsophisticated tone-deaf peasants... but I was saved because of my faith in sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll...
we live in a church now... everybody in my church loves this song...
Everybody in my hotel room loves this song...
The should, Romeo. and they should be dancing to it. How come you're a "former member"? We still love you.
Two words, The Best
Moonlight dancing off her hair,
etc... in my Chevy van..."
Awesome! I really miss the Stones from this era. . .

I never knew this song contained the N word until i read the lyrics printed on RP. I recently played the Lennon/Ono song, "Woman is the Nigger of the World" for two 30 something friends. Devastating in its indictment of the patriarchy. My friends were discussing gender politics and had never heard of the song. Both were stunned that a song would / could contain such a word in the title! One quipped, "I'm betting it didn't get much radio play." No, it didn't. I doubt that it's ever heard on radio. Still, Sweet Black Angel sneaks in.

Interesting. I noticed the word for the first time today, reading the lyrics on RP, like you. My ear hadn't even picked up on it; I was reading to see what the words were in the repeated line at the end!
