Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Jim Crow (minstrel song, 1820)
Subject: RE: Help: Jim Crow: Minstrel show-song from 1820'
My posting crossed with Sorcha's. The songs at the Levy links differ from that quoted by Saxton which begins:

Come listen all ye galls (sic) and boys
I'se jist from Tuckyhoe
I'm goin to sing a little song
My name's Jim Crow

Weel about and turn about
And do jis so
Eb'ry time I weel about
And jump Jim Crow
