Jim Crow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lincoln set the Negro free
Why is he still in Slavery?
Why is he still in Slavery?
Jim Crow!!
This is a land we call our own
Why does the Negro ride alone?
Why does the Negro ride alone?
Jim Crow!
When it's time to go to the polls
Why does the Negro stay at home?
Why does the Negro stay at home?
Jim Crow!
When it's time to go to the war
Why does the Negro march alone?
Why does the Negro march alone?
Jim Crow!
Freedom for all is what is said
Free to suffer till he's dead!
Free to suffer till he's dead!
Jim Crow!
This is a Land of Democracy
Why isn't everybody free?
Why isn't everybody free?
Jim Crow!
If we believe in Liberty
Put an end to slavery!
Put an end to slavery!
Jim Crow!
