The Yankee Doodle Negro

This music cover shows a man in black-face. It also illustrates what many people thought of African-Americans at this time.

Refrain:

I'm a Yankee Doodle Negro

A Yankee through and through.

I was brought up down in Dixie

And I'm true to the red, white and blue.

 

The stars and stripes I do love dearly

And so have I an Uncle Sam.

Oh say can you see any chicken for me?

I am just a Yankee Doodle son of Ham
