@hoosiercorporal i know, right? 300 years of slavery; and they have to make a big deal out of it! and jim crow after slavery was abolished. pffffft! come on! at least we're all on an equal footing now, right? You are such an idiot.
Remember when Harry Morgan was on M*A*S*H before he was Col. Potter? He played a general who went bug nutty? He was singing this song as they carted him off ...
@stalzz I presume you're talking about the use of the word "darkies" in the vocal. Yes, the whole world is supposed to revolve around the blacks and their carefully nursed and petted grievances, isn't it? I don't care what they think -- it's a GREAT jazz record and I'm glad you played it. Sorry you got in Dutch with your boss, though.
Yes the lyrics are definitely not 21st century but the music is beautiful and i love this one so much.

Funny, no-one seems to record this song any more. Good, though.

Awesome... if anything I'd have guessed it was a black group like the Washboard Rhythm Kings
