Jim Crow & John Donne

 

Much is said,

much is done;

it ain't no use,

but might be fun

 

No matter where you go,

no matter how you run:

if you're feeling low,

it ain't no fun

 

Everybody's left,

no one is here,

you're so bereft,

your loss is sheer

 

Turning this way,

or turning that;

you have no say,

don't know where it's at

 

If you're kinda late

If you suffer a blow,

it's simply your fate,

this ain't your show

 

Everybody's left,

no one is here,

you're so bereft,

your loss is sheer

 

You're just a dumb ass,

the daftest of fools,

never will charm a lass,

you just don't have the tools

 

but come around,

give it all up,

don't care where you're bound,

fill your cup up

 

Everybody's left,

no one is here,

you're so bereft,

your loss is sheer

 

and wherever you go,

wherever you've gone,

remember Jim Crow,

and read some John Donne
