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
