Look what Jim Crow´s done and gone
|
Went and changed his name
|
Don´t know what he´s going by these days
|
But he´s still actin´ the same
|
You can call it what you want to
|
But it´s still a minstrel show
|
You can call it what you want to
|
But it´s still Jim Crow
|
|
Jim´s probably laying in this morning
|
Hummin´ as he sleeps
|
Feeling the glow of another man´s woman
|
As she lies beneath his feet
|
Enjoyin´ the cool morning breeze
|
Smellin´ flowers as he goes
|
Looks like he´s changed his ways
|
Ah, but he´s still Jim Crow
|
|
Jim will spend the rest of the day
|
Playin´ in some big hotel
|
It´s an old song with very bad rhymes
|
But he does it so well
|
He´ll make some new acquaintances
|
When he´s out on his evening stroll
|
It´s amazing that after all this time
|
So many love
|
Big Jim Crow
