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
