Am 
 Look what Jim Crow's done and gone 
G                      
 He Went and changed His name 
Am 
 Don't know what He's going by these days 
G 
 But He's still actin' the same 

F                      C 
 You can call it what You want to 
         Am               G 
But it's still a minstrel show 
F                      C 
 You can call it what You want to 
G                    Am .. 
 But it's still Jim Crow

Am  
 Jim's probably laying in this morning 
G 
 Hummin' as He sleeps 
Am 
 Feeling the glow of another Man's Woman 
G 
 As She lies beneath His feet 
          
F              C 
 Enjoyin' the cool morning breeze 
          Am           G 
Smellin' flowers as He goes 
F                 C    
 Looks like He's changed His ways 
G    Am .. 
Ah,     but He's still Big Jim Crow

Am 
Jim will spend the rest of the day 
G 
 Playin' in some big hotel 
Am 
It's an old song with very bad rhymes 
G 
 But He does it so well 

        F              C 
He'll make some new acquaintances 
          Am                 G 
When He's out on His evening stroll 
F                       C 
 It's amazing that after all this time 
        G 
So many love 
        Am .. 
Big Jim Crow
