    COLORED CHILD AT CARNIVAL

    Where is the Jim Crow section
    On this merry-go-round,
    Mister, cause I want to ride?
    Down South where I come from
    White and colored
    Can’t sit side by side.


    Down South on the train
    There’s a Jim Crow car.
    On the bus we’re put in the back–
    But there ain’t no back
    To a merry-go-round!
    Where’s the horse
    For a kid that’s black?
