JUMP JIM CROW

Git fus on yo' heel,
An den upon yo' toe;
And ebry time you tu'n 'round,
You jump Jim Crow.

Now fall upon yo' knees.
Jump up an' bow low;
An' ebry time you tu'n 'round,
You jump Jim Crow.

Put yo' han's upon yo' hips,
Bow low to yo' beau;
An' ebry time you tu'n 'round,
You jump Jim Crow.
