frailer@prodigy.net Lyr Req: Old Black Joe (Stephen Foster) (67* d) RE: Ole Black Joe, some don't believe it exits 15 Aug 97


Political correctness aside, to be geographically correct, for most Floridians, it would be: "Way Up Upon the Swanee River."

But, to get to the point. You can't change history. "Old Black Joe" was written to reflect things as they were. It is an absolutely beautiful song about a dying man who happened to have been slave...and nothng is going to change that.
