frederick douglas, the first black person in congress, confronted stephen foster for his characterizations of blacks as menial half wits in his music with such material as old black joe. foster was horrified his music had this effect and his response was to write this song

Am I the only one that thinks Lebron James and Paul Robeson have to be related somehow?

Notice he sings the original lyrics, using "darkies" in two places in this recording. He is noted for having changed the lyrics of Old Man River in several places to match his social views.

De mémoire (je l'ai entendu chanté par le merveilleux John William) :Le ciel est bleu, tout là-bas au Kentucky,C'est l'été, le nègre sourit !Le blé mûrit, la prairie est toute en fleursL’oiseau chante au rythme de nos cœurs.De chaque seuil, on entend l'écho légerdes ébats des gosses joyeuxmais tout cela, quand pourrai-je le revoir ?Notre toit du Kentucky, bonsoir !A quoi bon tant de pleurs ?rions de nos malheurs !Souriez ma mie, et chantez entre mes bras,notre toit du Kentucky, bonsoir !Adieu, le temps où courant par les chemins,je suivais le lièvre malinPar tous les lieux où le maître s'en irale malheur suivra toujours ses pas !Sous le destin, notre échine doit plier,notre front toujours se courber,Pas un espoir ne traverse le ciel noirnotre toit du Kentucky, bonsoir !A quoi bon tant de pleurs ?rions de nos malheurs !Souriez ma mie, et chantez entre mes bras,notre toit du Kentucky, bonsoir !Un jour, j'irai, sans un geste sans un motemportant mon triste fardeaudire à la mort, que Dieu garde en son pouvoir :Notre toit du Kentucky, bonsoir !A quoi bon tant de pleurs ?rions de nos malheurs !Souriez ma mie, et chantez entre mes bras,notre toit du Kentucky, bonsoir !

What a great voice! If there's a better version of this song, I'd like to hear it. As for the appropriateness of the word "darkies", I can see both sides, although I don't claim to fully understand both sides.

@eliezer.... Good to learn something of the history of this song. Have had a love of Stephen Foster's songs since i played them on the piano as a child during family musical evenings.

Actually, "My Old Kentucky Home" is a minstrel song written by Stephen Foster 1852. It was published as "My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night" in January 1853 by Firth, Pond, & Co. of New York. The song was introduced by Christy's Minstrels the same year. The original sketch of this song, dating from 1852, substitutes "Poor Uncle Tom" for "My Old Kentucky Home" and aligns Foster's sympathies with the Abolitionist movement, based on his reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin".
