Merry Go Round - Fred Neil

Where’s the Jim Crow section

On this merry go round

I just can’t find the back

Where’s the Jim Crow section

On this merry go round

For a boy who’s black

Like a blackbird

Don’t you love

Tell me

Tell me where

Did you spin last night

In the pines

Where the sun never shines

And she shiver the whole night long

My daddy was good engineer

Killed a mile

And a half

From this town

His body was found

Underneath the driving wheel

His head

Ain’t never been found

Blackbird blackbird

Don’t you love me

Tell me where did you spin last night

Where’s the Jim Crow section

On this merry go round

I just can’t find the back

Where’s the Jim Crow section

Of your merry go round

For a boy who’s black
