Joe_F Steamboat coonjine songs (67* d) RE: Steamboat coonjine songs 28 May 21


Guest Mim's song appears in (of all places!) The New Song Fest (1958, p. 80):

Sing a Song of Cities

Sing a song of cities; roll dat cotton bale;
Rustabout am happy, as long's he's out of jail;
Norfolk fo' its oyster shells, Boston fo' its beans;
Cha'leston fo' it's rice an' corn, but fo' lassies, New Orleans.

A better version, on the whole.

If I dared, I would follow it up with The Beer Bottle (in the same book) and even "Man on top of woman".
