Jim Crow - Duet With Joan Baez Lyrics - John Mellencamp

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 acting 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 

Humming as he sleeps 

Feeling the glow of another man's woman 

As she lies beneath his feet

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Enjoying the cool morning breeze 

Smelling flowers as he goes 

Looks like he changed his ways 

Ah, still Big Jim Crow 

Jim will spend the rest of the day 

Playing in some big hotel 

It's an old song with very bad rhymes 

But he does it so well 

Photos 

He'll make some new acquaintances 

When he's out on his evening stroll 

It's amazing after all this time 

So many love Big Jim Crow
