Jim Crow Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm tried of bein' Jim Crowed, gon' leave this Jim Crow town
Doggone my black soul, I'm sweet Chicago bound
Yes sir, I'm leavin' here, from this old Jim Crow town

[Verse 2]
I'm going up North where they say money grows on trees
I don't give a doggone if my black soul do freeze
I'm going where I won't need no B.V.D.'s

[Verse 3]
I got a hat, got a overcoat, don't need nothin' but shoes
These old Easy Walkers gon' give my ankles the blues
But when my girl hear 'bout this, Lord, that'll be sad news

[Verse 4]
I'm going up North, baby, I can't carry you
Ain't nothin' in that cold country a green girl can do
I'm gon' get me a Northern girl, baby, I am through with you

[Verse 5]
Lord, but if I get up there, weather don't suit, I don't find no brown
Go and tell that boss man of mine
Lord, I'm rеady to come back to my Jim Crow town
