Jump Jim Crow

Jump Jim Crow, jump Jim Crow How do you do, you walk so slow Like a little red rooster with one trick leg Looks like you the one laying the egg I don't know when but it'll be real soon Going down the road by the light of the moon Going to the city to see Zip Coon Hip Zip Coon, you sure look slick How do you do that walking trick You got a woman on your left A woman on your right You all dressed up like a Saturday night Strolling down the street, feeling fine Tipping your hat, saying, "Howdy, Shine" If I knew your secret I would make it mine Tarbaby, Tarbaby, tell me true Who is really the jigaboo? Is it the white man, the white talking that jive Or the black man, the black, trying to stay alive? You can't touch a Tarbaby, everybody knows Smiling all the while wit de bone in de nose That's the way the story goes Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-aye My, oh my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine heading my way Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-aye
