Artist: Dolly Connolly
Author: L. Wolfe Gilbert/Lewis Muir

So true to the real spirit on Mississippi steamboats in particular and of early black music in general that it's hard to believe two white guys got the credits. Gilbert also wrote Ramona (see there). Introduced by Al Jolson in stage production The Whirl Of Society.
Covers:
Heidelberg Quintet [with Billy Murray]
Arthur Collins & Byron G. Harlan [for Edison Blue Amberol]
Judy Garland & Mickey Rooney [in film Babes On Broadway]
