Jim Crow Songtext
von Josh White

Lincoln set the Negro free
Why is he still in slavery?
Why is he still in slavery?
It′s Jim Crow

Freedom for all is what he said
Free to suffer 'til he′s dead
Free to suffer 'til he's dead
Of Jim Crow

This is a land we call our own
Why must the Negro ride alone?
Why must the Negro ride alone?
It′s Jim Crow


If this is a land of democracy
Put an end to slavery
Put an end to slavery
And Jim Crow

This is a land we call our own
Why must the Negro stay at home?
Why must the Negro stay at home?
It′s Jim Crow

Freedom for all is what he said
Free to suffer 'til he′s dead
Free to suffer 'til he′s dead
Of Jim Crow

This is a land of democracy
Why isn't everybody free?
Why isn′t everybody free?
It's Jim Crow
