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
