The song is still racist because it is about a black guy’s warped perception of reality, almost as if he is too mentally deficient to really understand everything
@@albertmak5496 I'm gonna feel SO BAD when you realize what the second verse actually says in the original version. Also this version being "sanitized" is good. Since I wanna sing this wonderful love song. But I don't wanna say "darkie" or the n-word.
@@yoshii63 I know the second verse. But okay boy, sing this "wonderful" song waving the confederate flag, drink a Bud and raise another statue for people who fought AGAINST the USA.
@@albertmak5496 then Union Dixie would be a Confederate song. The Northern Abolitionists loved Dixieland. However thy didn't wanna sing a pro-Confederate song. So they created Union Dixie. They're doing the exact same here. Sure it isn't exactly anti-Confederate. However they removed most if not all of the racist lyrics that still shames the song today.
@@yoshii63 I'm afraid you are missing my point. By sanitizing history the facts will be forgotten. And i (agreed, my personal opinion) have a great problem with that.
The original lyrics if you dont already know at 0:40 were "De Lectric fluid magnified, And killed five hundred (Fine African-American Gentlemen)" Back then they used the racial slur for those gentlemen that you can google yourself, I am not going to write that here lmao.
They changed the lyric but didn't make it rhyme? Did they really think people would look and think "what rhymes with Riber and fits in for 'men'? I have no idea" and move on?
@@felixtheredfox1778 The difference between Jacobite music is that it's political in origin. There's nothing political about "Oh, Susana." It's an American folk song to the rest of the world.
@@edwardcumpstey9061 i was more saying that Jacobite songs are *typically* Scottish. Whilst Scottish people are technically British because they live in Britain, many would either reject the label or prefer Scottish. Same with Dixie, we are technically American because we‘re in the US, but Dixie is a separate culture from the rest of the US with its own traditions, food, music, and dialect.

Just a little disappointed
Oh the original was exactly what you thought
Best version of Oh Susanna, thanks for uploading this masterpiece.
Definitely not made by southerners but it's good
not best version
@@aiueo-r6c which version is best for you?

Something feels off
Not just off, the original says killed 500 N word, but he... why learn from the past? The US is on it's way back to these "Great times" so why not?
Ni-

Best version I heard yet. Real epic and spine tingling!
This was weird yet beautiful, especially the ending, I can't believe it lul
0:40
Im Impressed that they changes the n word with five hundred men and some versions also included "chiggers" and "kittens" or "dogs"
Well it hits different when you live the southern part of US
My mom hates the song because it's her name a running joke with my family in anybody that knows her she had to sing in an elementary school😂
Such a powerful and emotional song 🥲
Minor correction: To keep the rhyme, this version has "round the bend" instead of "down the river."
0:43 This isnt the original lyrics, its "And killed five hundred N[CENSORED]"
That's the Jim Crow version. That is not the original version.
@@deutschekanadische are you sure
@@deutschekanadische it is the original version
The song is still racist because it is about a black guy’s warped perception of reality, almost as if he is too mentally deficient to really understand everything
@@deutschekanadische Stephen Foster's original lyric was indeed that, to "rhyme" (loosely) with "ribber"/"river"
The south is a beautiful place, love that song
Lyric correction: fourth verse is actually
"If I do not find her then I'll surely die" not "if I do not find her no one will surely die"
What a load of BS, the fourth verse is: If i do not find her then this "Darkie" will surely die. This version is sanitized, this song is racist AF

Now, now, we all know what word rhymes with _river_ and it certainly isn't _men_ .
Hmm,i feel something's familiar
euphonious❤
Thank you , it's pretty❤
A very American song
Never actually heard most of the lyrics. Usually only the refrain and maybe the first verse.
@ogSlyBot Oh no, I'd never have known!
This music is better than the music nowadays
0:41 Doze aint da dern mouth words!
Oh Susana is old song and cosplay mixue😂👍👍
The beginning sounds like something out of rdr2
They changed the lyric but didn't make it rhyme? Did they really think people would look and think "what rhymes with Riber and fits in for 'men'? I have no idea" and move on?
Some revisions change "river/ribber" with "bend" to more closely rhyme with "men".
Love from Mexico ❤
he got a sister in louisiana? dang, long distance family.

A mais linda versão dessa belíssima canção: SUSANA🌷👏
What album/video is this one from?
It's an old song, not really a video/album (this version is clean, the real version is very racist so watch at your own will)
@@whatnot1235 I mean this specific recording
This was performed by the Millenium Choir and Orchestra in 2014 I believe. Other than the people that performed this, theres nothing else.
The south had a superior soundtrack, the north had superior arson game.
Kept all of the original lyrics except changing the hard r to "men"
The origional song was the best.
0:42 men, huh??
Everything was fine at first but it suddenly became noisy
Yeah. Its recommended to listen with earphones.
censored version
You know what ... Never mind
I am an Arab from Iraq I love this song❤
🇺🇸🇺🇸
South version is better
😂the traitor version you mean
This IS the south version. It just has more verses…
@@__mindflayer__i think he ment the version with the n-word.
@@karolgoofit7901 that’s the Jim Crow version and not the original.
The cottonfield version is better
you could atleast upload original one
its an old song, so if you wanted the original playing of it, well its impossible because the guy who made it and played it first is dead now
муйня все это. Нюхни , брат)))))))
they put too much sauce on it
Honestly I prefer this one over the racist one.
I just wish it wasn’t really a chorus.
Whats the racist one
What's the deal with that terroristic profile pic lmao
@@nazalostizsrbije n-word
@@nazalostizsrbije The original had the N word in the lyrics.
wrong flag when it comes to the song
Un pedo para ti
This song doesn't make sense. It's supposed to be sung by a Black man, it even says so in the lyrics!
The song isn’t American in origin, it’s Dixie
Both the same thing , ain 't it ?
@@abandonthis not really, it’s like the difference between Scottish and English, wouldn’t call Jacobite songs “British music”
