He long lived the pride of that country side,

And at last in the order of sanctity died:

When, as words were too faint his merits to paint,

The Conclave determined to make him a Saint.

And on newly made Saints and Popes, as you know,

It's the custom at Rome new names to bestow,

So they canonized him by the name of Jim Crow!
