OLD ZIP COON - 1834 - Performed by Tom Roush

Comments have been disabled on this video due to ridiculous comments by folks who were never taught American history or simply failed to comprehend it. The beginning of the video gives a warning as such. This tune is better known today as 'Turkey In The Straw' with drastically different lyrics. I perform this song to demonstrate how racial relations were in the United States in the pre-Civil War period. I mean no offence to anyone. This song is included on my CD ' Somewhere Between the Blue & Gray' which is available on iTunes at: itunes.apple.c.... CDs are available at: tomroush.us
