Item Description
10x13" with 8 pages including covers and 4 page interior. Titled "Ku-Klux-Klan/Fox-Shimmy" with 1923 copyright of Union Musical Espanola. Page one has ink stamp of music store in Pamplona (a city famous for the running of bulls). Numerous, but minor handling creases and a few trivial edge tears, the worst .5" on front cover edge. Here is a loose Google translation of the two verses: Verse One: In The Catacombs Of New York City, The Sect Of White Terror Has Its Lair. They Have Sworn Their Destruction Of Negroes Through The Atlanta Association Of The Ku Klux Klan. They Come Disguised In Executioner Hoods As Nazarenes In Mysterious Procession. And In The Shadows Of The Night At 12 O'clock Sacrifice Blacks In The Fire Of The Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan Gives Me Dread. I Thought I'm Not Going To Go To New York. Verse Two: The Masked Men Have Already Extended Their Membership And Women Are Now Pursued With Tenacity. Nobody Knows For Sure What The Women Want To Join The Ku Klux Klan. They Say That The Group Is More Than One Hundred, And All Rich, And They Are All Good Guys. And People Already Know That Women Now Go By Night To The Field To Meet The Ku Klux Klan! Ku Klux Klan...You Do Not Give Me Dread. I Was Not Going. But Now, I'm Going To New York City. Striking cover art with giant Klansman dwarfing the Statue Of Liberty as a parade of robed Klansmen pass in the night before city skyscrapers. First seen.
