This is a good song. Of course, Charleston then was poor shantytown; a clear reference to this common poverty was when they mentioned "my old shack in Charleston." Some of the racist views southerners had may have greatly been caused by scapegoating. Of course, it also spread to working-class areas, such as Chicago, in the North for a little while when blacks migrated during the Great Migration, as labor laws were weak at the time and these whites feared their for their jobs and income

Darkies, of course, would never be accepted today. It was a known racist term for blacks, though Coon and Sanders may not have meant it in that sense.

@jvbrown1995 This was recorded in 1925, eleven years before McCain was born. It was a shame that the laissez-faire policies of the day led America into the Great Depression. Milton Friedman's idiotic argument that the Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression and that Roosevelt made the economy is worth at least fifty million laughs. He probably never even looked at the fact that unemployment never again reached what it did under Hoover even when FDR foolishly focused on budget-balancing

John McCain was born in 1936.

'Till I land in someone's empty arms.
I can almost hear those southern darkies hummin', strummin'
that old favourite melody of mine.
Feet don't let me wait, hit that road and syncopate.
