Michelle Shocked - Jump Jim Crow lyrics

Jump Jim Crow How do you, do you walk so slow Like a little red rooster with one trick leg Look 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 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 for Saturday night Strolling down the street, feeling fine Tipping your hat, saying "Howdy, Shine" If I knew your secret I would make it mine 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 That's the way my 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
