I loved this so much in 1955 when i was 11,and now they give it a "racist warning" label now.What a sick sad world we live in.

I had this 78 & used to listen to it a lot way back when I was a kid... Almost forgot that it existed!

The song is based on a Texas legend from the days of the Texas War of Independence. According to the legend, a woman named Emily D. West — a mulatto, and hence, the song's reference to her being "yellow" — who was seized by Mexican forces during the looting of Galveston seduced General Antonio López de Santa Anna, President of Mexico and commander of the Mexican forces. The legend credits her supposed seduction with lowering the guard of the Mexican army.
