This 1907 recording of "Bake Dat Chicken Pie" was sung by Arthur Collins and Byron Harlan, popular black-face vaudeville performers of the time. They recorded dozens of so-called 'coon songs' over their careers. This song features the following lyrics:
Jes go round w'en de night's sorter dark, An' dem chickens, dey can't see. Be shore dat de bad dog's all tied up, Den slip right close to de tree. Now retch out yo' han' an' pull 'im in, Den run lak a William goat; An' if he holler, squeeze 'is neck, An' shove 'im un'er yo' coat. Bake dat Chicken pie! It's mighty hard to wait When you see dat Chicken pie, Hot, smokin' on de plate. Bake dat Chicken pie! Yes, put in lots o' spice. Oh, how I hopes to Goodness Dat I gits de bigges' slice.This Columbia cylinder record numbered 33105 is in visually excellent condition with very small chips out of the top edge, but no cracks. It does come with the original Columbia case. Buyer will include $5 for shipping (including packing materials).
