Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Jim Crow (minstrel song, 1820)
Subject: Jim Crow: Minstrel show-song from 1820's
In searching the net for information about the origins of the term Jim Crow, I found a reference which mentioned that the term "Jim Crow" was taken from a Minstrel-show song from the 1820's! I wold love to know the text and music (if possible) of this song.

Can anyone help me?
