Verse 1:
D
Jump Jim Crow, jump Jim Crow

How do you do? You walk so slow

Like a little red rooster with one trick leg
D
Looks like you the one laying the egg
  A
I don't know when, but it'll be real soon
G
Going down the road by the light of the moon

Going to the city to see Zip Coon

Going to the city to see Zip Coon

Hip Zip Coon, you sure look slick

How do you do that walking trick?

You got a woman on the left

A woman on your right
    D
You all dressed up for Saturday night
A
Strollin' down the street, feeling fine
G
Tipping your hat, saying, "Howdy, Shine!"
D
If I knew your secret I would make it mine
                              A       D
If I knew your secret I would make it mine
