That's amazing! Times have surely changed. Still needs more changing of course.

Yes. This was written for a minstrel show of the 1840s and was to be performed by white actors in blackface pretending to be black people.

this is how its performed at the stephen foster story at bardstown, ky... I have an old song book for piano and organ from there and the words are exactly like this recording... Thanks for uploading, people aren't accusomted to the "old world" songs from the late 1800s as they were originally written - they tend to change down thru the years...

what a magnificent version...and I love the violin. Thanks for the vid!

I wasn't familiar with the original version before...until now.

I first heard this on bugs bunny even though they only played certain parts, i always remember my dad telling me something about this about how it was racist. Alabama Rocks!

Thanks for the upload, I've always wanted to hear that particular verse. Can't find it anywhere :)
