Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Jim Crow (minstrel song, 1820)
Subject: RE: Help: Jim Crow: Minstrel show-song from 1820'
Here is a link to Jim Crow Complete in 150 verses (from the Library of Congress "America Singing: Nineteenth-Century Song Sheets):

And here is the Miditext transcription of the copyright 1928 sheet music, Words & Music by Thomas D. Rice, taken from The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music.

I note that although we have a version of "Jim Crow" in the DigiTrad, it's not this version.
