Description


The Czar of the Tenderloin, recorded July 14, 1897 in New York. by Will F. Denny.
7" Berliner record Rated VG+ with usual Berliner surface noise.

Great lyrics about corrupt politician in New York City's Tenderloin district :

America has a President, and England has a queen,
While Germany's great emperor sits ruling all serene,
The Indians have their medicine man, Bavaria a king
But none of these diplomats are quite the proper thing
For in gay New York where the gay Bohemians dwell
There’s a colony called the Tenderloin, though why I can not tell,

A certain man controls the place with no regard for coin,  
The Czar, The Czar, The Czar of the Tenderloin
Each evening through the Tenderloin, the Czar will gaily prance,
With whiskers divided just to give the wind a chance,
His bodyguard behind him, scouting for a finish fight
Arresting everything that’s left because it isn’t right

The song's composer, Bob Cole, and lyricist, Billy Johnson, both African Americans, also wrote and produced the first musical created and owned by blacks.
