The Drinking Jim Crow
[Verse 1]
I have emotional scars
And I don't understand what you're saying
Lying an accomplice of mine
Feeling that something's gonna blow
[Refrain]
And watch where you go
I'm the drinking Jim Crow
[Verse 2]
Ah, as you know our traditional game
And oh, we mark it of a nasty little nation
Drinking from the fire in the well
Extracting all the venom from the snake
[Refrain]
Be careful you know
I'm the drinking Jim Crow
[Outro]
And the blessings bestowed
And the costumes we froze
And the master of races
And the fun pointed faces
And the killing of time
I'm the drinking Jim Crow
Better look where you know
Better look where you go
