[78-L] Kitty and Judy

[Bud Black]

It's an electric Regal, but the song undoubtedly dates back much further. 
You are right about the song's theme.  It's a mother singing to her child
who is crying because the "white kids" won't play with him.  Pretty sad!

Bud,  Is that the old-time tune from the 1890s about the little black child
with whom the white kids won't play?  Grim lyrics...when does the record
date from?
