Now this is interesting. When he sings "Old Black Joe," he changes it to "Old, old Joe." This song he sings "Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary." From the current perspective, the latter sounds more pejorative than the former; but the perspective then seems different.
One of the best version of this beautiful song.

Please just take this wonderful music for all that it is.
Else, please don't spoil it with your "whatever".
