At Uncle Tom's Cabin Door 1912

In Eighteen Sixty,
In Eighteen Sixty,
These happy days before Emancipation,
'way down in Dixie,
'way down in Dixie,
merry darkies you would see.
They had their sorrows,
that's quite true,
but there were happy hours too,
Let's go back once more,
back before the war,
and we'll see some jubilee.

See them dancing around,
watch them prance on the ground,
Uncle Tom is gay,
troubles fade away,
Hear them after each encore,
Roar for more,
Banjo's strumming a tune,
Topsy's acting like a loon,
There's some celebration
on the old plantation
at Uncle Tom's Cabin door.

See them dancing around,
watch them prance on the ground,
Uncle Tom is gay,
troubles fade away,
Hear them after each encore,
Roar for more,
Banjo's strumming a tune,
Topsy's acting like a loon,
There's some celebration
on the old plantation
at Uncle Tom's Cabin door.

Just hear them singing
Just hear them singing
Those good old darkey times
they're harmonizing,
Just see them swinging,
Just see them swinging
to the strains of "Old Black Joe"
Here comes the Marsa from his ride,
there's little Eva by his side,
Sime Legree's away,
blood hounds are at play,
those were happy, happy days.

See them dancing around,
watch them prance on the ground,
Uncle Tom is gay,
troubles fade away,
Hear them after each encore,
Roar for more,
Banjo's strumming a tune,
Topsy's acting like a loon,
There's some celebration
on the old plantation
at Uncle Tom's Cabin door.

See them dancing around,
watch them prance on the ground,
Uncle Tom is gay,
troubles fade away,
Hear them after each encore,
Roar for more,
Banjo's strumming a tune,
Topsy's acting like a loon,
There's some celebration
on the old plantation
at Uncle Tom's Cabin door.
