Nina Simone - Old Jim Crow lyrics

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.
