[Nina Simone - Old Jim Crow lyrics]

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
