Aqui partilho mais uma Coon Soong, num cilindro de cera Edison de 1908 imaculado da minha colecção, com o tema "Dixie Dan" interpretado pelo Billy Murray (1877 – 1954) cantor norte americano extremamente popular nas primeiras décadas do Século XX da autoria Arthur Collins, o Rei do ragtime.
Dixie Dan
By Arthur Collins
Way down south where i was born
In the land of cotton and the land of corn
I saw the light on a monday morn
And they called me Dixie Dan
In an old burnt stump of an old burnt tree
The doctor he discovered me
And my mammy shook her sides with glee
And she called me Dixie Dan
Now a gal down there with cork-screw hair
She won my heart and i declare
I must have been slow
When i let her go
A traveling round with a minstrel show
Oh
Dixie, oh Dixie Dan
'Ambling, rambling, gambling minstrel man
Coal-black color all except my teeth
With a loving disposition underneath
My heart pines for the girl I left behind
Oh Trixie, oh Trixie An
My heart beats for you to beat the band
Way down south is the land of cotton
Tell me you have not forgotten
Dixie, oh Dixie Dan
