Jim Crow Songtext
von Leadbelly

Bunk Johnson told me too
This old Jim Crowism did bad luck to me and you
I′ve been travelin', I′ve been travelin' from toe to toe
Everywhere I have been, I find some old Jim Crow


One thing people, I want everybody to know
You gonna find some Jim Crow every place you go
Down in Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia's a mighty good place to go
And get together, break up this old Jim Crow

I told everybody over the radio
Make up your mind and get together, break up this old Jim Crow
I′m gonna tell you people something that you don′t know
It's a lot of Jim Crow in a moving picture show

I′m gonna sing this verse, I ain't gonna sing no more
Please get together and break up this old Jim Crow
