Er, um, back to the Doodletown Fifers. Along about 1963 or so, there was a cute, fairly popular instrumental by that name. You heard it a lot on the radio. Dunno who the musicians were.

The tune was "The Year of Jubilo", Civil War minstrel show --very yankee, the words would certainly have been found insulting by Southerners & probably by Black people, too. It's the song that begins:

Hey Darkies have you seen the massa
With the moustache on his face,
Goin' down the road some time this mornin'
Like he g'wine to leave the place.
He seen the smoke way down the river
Where the Lincoln gunboats lay.
And he took his hat and he left very sudden
And I 'spec he run away

Chorus:

De massa run, ha! ha!
De darkies sing, ho! ho!
It must be now the kingdom comin'
And the year of jubilo.

I think the tune was used --1939 or so?-- as the theme music for the Charlie McCarthy show.

Just tried to see if the DT has the words but something kerfluffled, and all I can get is:
