Jack Johnson 歌詞
Jack Johnson - The Tom Russell Band
Written by：Russell
He was born in 1890 on the gulf of Mexico
Fought his way around the world with hand and heart and soul
Hey trot out all your great white hopes
But they'd better bring a gun
Jack johnson's made of iron
He's all counterpunch and run
Yonder comes Jack Johnson
Like he owns the town
There's a lot of white American's
Like to see that man fall down
Like to see a black man drown
Jack stood on the titanic pier with a thousand dollar roll
But the captain said sorry boy we ain't haulin' coal
So jack danced the eagle rock in a tavern on the shore
While the captain danced his final dance on the atlantic ocean floor
Yonder comes Jack Johnson
Like he owns the town
There's a lot of white American's
Like to see that man fall down
Like to see a black man drown
Jack Johnson beat Jim Jeffries
Till there weren't nothin' left
And every time he'd throw for a
He'd say package for Mr Jeff
The he ran off with some white girl
Man that made 'em mad
All agreed and all decreed that black man was bad
Yonder comes Jack Johnson
Like he owns the town
There's a lot of white American's
Like to see that man fall down
Like to see a black man drown
Well I stole a line from lead Belly
I don't think he'd mind
'Cause lead Belly and Jack they were cut from the same vine
Yonder comes Jack Johnson
Like he owns the town
There's a lot of white American's
Like to see that man go down
Like to see a black man drown
