Even with the knowledge that this was during the peak years of Jim Crow laws and lynching, this is particularly vile. But its necessary to show the kind of thinking that told audiences of that time had in allowing such things. I hope that some of the rap music of recent times will one day be looked upon with similar disgust.
Jesus, they didn't hold any punches back in the day. Great singer but questionable content. However it was the style of the times. 1:07 - I actually had to laugh. Imagine that in today's (2020/2021) current climate...
I'd rather be able to play Body Count's 'Cop Killer' in 1901 through an early 1990s sound system. You can tell it would make these low energy dimwits shit themselves in fear.
lmao even my friends would find this laughable and their black but I just think of this as a joke I don’t take this seriously and neither do they. They laugh I laugh and we all laugh
@wnc817 OH My Fucking God you and your Kind always accuse of No Proof. Are you some kind of Idiot? Please tell me it's a Joke. You've made that Word Meaningless. Black People speak English too.
I think the problem we have in this country is that white people like to think the racism used to be at about a 9 and now it's down around a 2. But really, it used to be around 10,000 and now it's down around 4,000. Huge progress, sure. And still insanely racist. The idea we could come down from the country represented in this song in only 100 years is totally absurd.
This was a very common practice. Many songs of the time had very similar melodies. "Turkey in the Straw" which today has the melody for "Do Your Ears Hang Low" is actually older, and can be traced back to a Minstrel Show tune, "Old Zip Coon" 1834. However, even that is debated, as there were several songs predating even that with seemingly similar music; "Natchez Under the Hill", "The Old Bog Hole", "The Rose Tree", "Sugar in the Gourd", "The Black Eagle", "Glasgow Hornpipe", "Haymaker's Dance", "The Post Office", "Old Mother Oxford", "Kinnegad Slasher" and others.
Always a favorite singer and song, but I'm not too sure about this version. Thanks for the scarce upload nonetheless :) ethnic humor is an equally opportune humor for all of us in the world.
How tf are people calling this a classic and that more songs should be written this way? Do you even know what you're listening to rn? Show a little respect for your brothers and sisters of color... smfh
@Randall Slaughter Shit take. People in the USA lynched a black man every day of 1901, always because they were provoked, right? You really think BLM, a movement started due to police bruatlity against the colored poor, is a good reason to be racist and cruel?
In a world where for the last 30 years there have been Rap songs and etc. that say the N-word 50 times per minute, are we really surprised that some people have become desensitized to such slurs?
@@ZeusTheTornado tbf, a lot of the comments here are coming from older folks like "aww I remember when my grandma used to sing this to me." So you can't exactly say that these people were "desensitized" to these slurs because of rappers.
It’s hilarious and a joke. It’s meant to be a joke, it’s obviously a joke… it’s increasingly getting harder for some of us to relate to certain people nowadays who’s been increasingly radicalized to the point they can no longer distinguish when something is clearly a joke.
It was probably recorded on an Edison Phonograph cylinder before it was mechanically duplicaed onto a 78. Many early recordings were warbly because recording on an Edison phonograph was extreamly difficult compared to later recording equipment.

They played this song at my local Walmart on repeat all day once.
Bout to send this to so many producers, I’m expecting a wavy trap coon subgenre 👀🔥
That would be…interesting
We making out downtown Baltimore with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Lovely song. They knew how to write them in those days.
Absolutely,when times were simple and people knew their place!
my grandmother sang this song in elementary school with her class
I guarantee these songs are public domains now
Anything before 1923 (1924 now, with following years as each year comes)
It's probably not it's just that nobody wants to admit to owning this copyright this

A fabulous performance. How entertaining!

I love hearing these old folk songs.
wow.
It’s more of a ragtime song than folk
Wow...
I doubt this is on Barry or Michelle's playlists.
Really gets stuck in you head, especially the chorus.

Just like people say "The N word"...but if that's the case there will be confusion with the "C word"...lol

You almost sounded proud. Which of course you shouldn’t be.

Are you and your grandmother racist
Damn that's fucked up
This sounds eerily similar to 'Tell Me Pretty Maidens' from the hit show, Floradora, of about the same time. It's no doubt a take-off from it.
