Jump Jim Crow
|
How do you, do you walk so slow
|
Like a little red rooster with one trick leg
|
Look like you the one laying the egg
|
I don't know when but it'll be real soon
|
Going down the road by the light of the moon
|
Going to the city to see Zip Coon
|
Going to the city to see Zip Coon
|
|
Hip Zip Coon you sure look slick
|
How do you do that walking trick
|
You got a woman on your left
|
A woman on your right
|
You all dressed up for Saturday night
|
Strolling down the street, feeling fine
|
Tipping your hat, saying "Howdy, Shine"
|
If I knew your secret I would make it mine
|
If I knew your secret I would make it mine
|
|
Tarbaby, Tarbaby, tell me true
|
Who is really the jigaboo?
|
Is it the white man, the white talking that jive
|
Or the black man, the black trying to stay alive?
|
You can't touch a tarbaby, everybody knows
|
Smiling all the while wit de bone in de nose
|
That's the way the story goes
|
That's the way my story goes
|
|
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Aye
|
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
|
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
|
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Aye
|
