Artist/Band: John Mellencamp
Lyrics for Song: Jim Crow
Lyrics for Album: Freedoms Road [2008]



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
