Ku Klux Klan

How come Janis Joplin's song "Mercedes Benz" is used as a Klan song in this production? It is set in the 1860/70s, but according to Wikipedia that song was first written in NINETEEN-70. There is no mention of it being a standard which just had new lyrics put to it.

I just watched this show and have the same question.

These are the lyrics

Niggers and Leaguers, get out of the way
We're born of the night and vanish by day
No nations have we but the flesh of a man
And love niggers best
The Ku Klux Klan

From Episode 3, Chapter 20, and I think they also sang it before somewhere.
