Description

WARNING--The song in this listing is racist; a shameful piece of America's musical history. 

1916 release on the Columbia label (A1999) of Harry C. Browne's "Nigger Love a Watermelon, Ha! Ha! Ha!". The tune of this song is sometimes referred to as "The Ice Cream Truck Song". "Old Dan Tucker" is on the other side. The 10-inch, 78RPM record plays cleanly (without skips or "sticks") on both sides, but is very "scratchy" sounding (possibly due to age or the quality of the recording). The record was among many century-old records purchased as a lot at an estate sale.

Thanks for looking. See my other listings for more items. 

Will ship to U.S. addresses only. Payment accepted through PayPal only. Please make payment within 48 hours of purchase, thank you. From a non-smoking home.
