This sheet music is part of the collection of hoyle :
Popular songs about
steamboats, the Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers, and the
places along the rivers, in
lead sheet format.
These lead sheets are in
guitar and string band keys -
A, E, D, G, and C. Most songs
are pitched in keys suitable
for alto and baritone
voices.
Many of these songs from the
early Twentieth Century use
words referring to African
Americans which now make us
uncomfortable. Lyrics on the
lead sheets have, for the most
part, been adapted for modern
use. Performers should
carefully study and consider
how audiences will hear these
songs before performing
them.
In many cases, a pdf of the
original sheet music is posted
along with the lead sheet.
This is an ongoing project.
Songs will keep being added to
the collection.
