[Verse 1]
Bunk Johnson told me too, This old Jim Crowism dead bad luck to me and you

[Verse 2]
I been traveling, I been traveling from toe to toe
Everywhere I have been I find some old Jim Crow

[Verse 3]
One thing, people, I want everybody to know
You're gonna find some Jim Crow, every place you go

[Verse 4]
Down in Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia's a mighty good place to go
And get together, break up this old Jim Crow

[Bridge]
Break it up now

[Verse 5]
I told everybody over the radio
Make up their mind and get together, break up this old Jim Crow

[Verse 6]
I want to tell you people something that you don't know
It's a lotta Jim Crow in a moving picture show
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna sing this verse, I ain't gonna sing no more
Please get together, break up this old Jim Crow
