I don't want no Jim Crow coffee
In Woolworth store, in Woolworth store.
I don't want no Jim Crow coffee
In Woolworth store, in Woolworth store.

I don't want no lyncher's justice,
In Poplarville, in Poplarville.
I don't want no lyncher's justice,
In Poplarville, in Poplarville.

Now did you hear about brother Mack Parker,
In Poplarville, in America?
Did you hear about brother Mack Parker,
In Poplarville, Lordy, in America?

Now they beat him and they shot him and they lynched him;
And it's a shame in America.
Now they beat him and they shot him and they lynched him;
And it's a shame in America.

Now did you hear about the West Virginia miners?
They starve to death in America,
Nov did you hear about the West Virginia miners?
They starve to death in America.

Well, I don't want no Jim Crow in my union;
It hurts my pride; I'm a working man.
Well, I don't want no Jim Crow in my union;
It hurts my pride; I'm a working man.

Now if we all just stand together
Then we will win, brother, we will win.
Now if we all just stand together
Then we will win, brother, we will win.
We will win, Lord, we will win.
