Rice performed as a solo song and dance which preceded the minstrel troupe. Some of these words seem Civil War period. That tells me the song had a long popularity. African-American music was filtered in this way through white interpretation until the 1900s. It was in a Vitaphone musical featurette called &#8220;Minstrel Days&#8221; (1941).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sheet music:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jim-Crow.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Jim Crow - Sheet Music.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-188cf5ac-96cf-445f-9ffc-53e411ff75c6\" href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jim-Crow.pdf\">Jim Crow &#8211; Sheet Music<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jim-Crow.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-188cf5ac-96cf-445f-9ffc-53e411ff75c6\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accompaniment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-265f1163-bf67-4050-8082-da24125e04f1\" href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jim-Crow-MIDI.mid\">Jim Crow &#8211; MIDI<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jim-Crow-MIDI.mid\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-265f1163-bf67-4050-8082-da24125e04f1\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyrics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
