Merry Go Round Songtext
von Fred Neil

Where′s the Jim Crow section of your merry-go-round?
I just can't find the back
Where′s the Jim Crow section of your merry-go-round
For a boy who's black?

Black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you spend last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And she shivered the whole night long


My daddy was a good engineer
Killed a mile and a half from this town
His body was found ′neath the driver′s wheel
Cause his head ain't never been found

Black girl, black girl, don′t you lie to me
Tell me where did you spend last night

Where's the Jim Crow section of your merry-go-round?
I just can′t find the back
Where's the Jim Crow section of your merry-go-round
For a boy who′s black?
