10. AMAZING GRACEAMAZIN' GRACE
  
Amazing grace, how sweet the soundAmazin' Grace, how sweet it sounds,
That saved a wretch like me !Jack Johnson knock Jim Jeffries down.
I once was lost, but now I’m foundJim Jeffries jump up an' hit Jack on the chin,
Was blind, but now I see.An' then Jack knock him down agin.
  
Fabuleuse grâce, quel son si douxThe Yankees hold the play,
Sauva le misérable que j’étais !The white man pulls the trigger,
J’étais perdu, me voilà retrouvé,But it make no difference what the white man say,
J’étais aveugle, mais maintenant je vois.The world champion's still a nigger!
