GUEST,Cave Dave Origin: They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Around (60* d) RE: Origin: They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Aroun' 12 Jan 10

I love this song. My dad who was born in Missouri in 1897 used to sing it. Don't know where he learned it. I also saw an internet reference which attributed the song to the great minstrel writer James Bland (of Carry Me Back To Old Virginny fame) This contradicts some of the other origins that I've seen. Does anyone know anything more about this possible collection to Bland or where it might have come from?
