Jim McLean | Lyr Req: Old Black Joe (Stephen Foster) (67* d) | RE: Lyr Req: Old Black Joe (Stephen Foster) | 02 Oct 13 |
Some years ago I was researching Scottish melodies and found Old Black Joe was very similar to the Scottish tune "Saw ye My Father" also known as "The Grey Cock". The spiritual "Saw ye my Saviour" was printed many years before Stephen Foster wrote OBJ and was undoubtably used by him for OBJ. |
