*Content Advisory: This track contains derogatory language in the lyrics. The "n-word" was originally circulated and popularized through blackface minstrelsy and used by an American society steeped in white supremacist values, especially during the Jim Crow era, to unjustly describe and identify Black people.
In the liner notes, Paul Oliver contextualizes the song as part of a repertoire that was rarely heard by white audiences and could be construed as a protest song with an ironic take on stereotypes, noting that the Mississippi Sheiks played different repertoire for different audiences.
