Peaceful Henry [sheet music]

Kelly, Harry

Detroit, New York: Whitney Warner Pub. Co, 1903. 6p., 10.75x13.75 inch sheet music; spine reinforced by old clear tape. There are many versions of this once-popular sheet music; this one depicts the Henry of the song on the cover (this is not a photo of the composer, who was of Irish background).

This version has only the musical notation, omitting the lyrics, which included such atroctious lines as "In all coon town he is the only one / Whom all the other niggers take dictation from. / He knows the proper thing to do, / He's a colored diplomat..."
