Lyric Old Jim Crow

Ron Vander Groef, Jackie Alper, Nina Simone

Old Jim Crow
Where you been baby
Down Mississippi and back again
Old Jim Crow don t you know
It s all over now

Old Jim Crow
What s wrong with you
It ain t your name
It s the things you do
Old Jim Crow don t you know
It s all over now

Old Jim Crow
You ve been around too long
Gotta work the devil
Til your dead and gone
Old Jim Crow
Yes, don t you know
It s all over now
It s all over now

Old Jim Crow
You know it s true
When you hurt my brother
You hurt me too
Old Jim Crow don t you know
It s all over now

Old Jim Crow
I thought I had you beat
Now I see you walkin
And talkin up and down my street
Old Jim Crow don t you know
It s all over now

Old Jim Crow
You ve been around too long
Gotta work the devil
Til your dead and gone
Old Jim Crow don t you know
It s all over
All over
Oh Lord, it s all over
All over
It s all over
It s all over
It s all over now.
