[78-L] Kitty and Judy

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Ok, I believe this is the song. It was done many times over the years, I have several copies. Very sentimental ballad with Lyrics unacceptable by todays Social standards. Here it is. The original Sheet music and Lyrics. The Peerless Quartette, Vernon Dalhart and many others recorded this.

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?
