The song was played in Ed Wynn's 1920 Broadway comedy called The Ed Wynn Carnival. Which played on Broadway for about a year. Ed Wynn had a long acting career that continued into the 1960s. Mostly considered as a comedian and inspired many comedic actors of his time. 

The lyrics of I Love the Land of Old Black Joe were written by Grant Clarke and the melody by Walter Donaldson. It's recorded as a piano melody and has a catchy chorus line. Its pace is fairly steady throughout the song.

Condition is good for sheet music that just recently had its centennial birthday.  Still has good color, all pages accounted for and relatively free of major issues - except, of its 12" spine, about 5" is holding on the center - top and bottom of the spine is torn. Also, the cover shows some light browning.

Approx. 9" x 12" with 6 pages (covers included). Interior pages are loose bound. Published by Irving Berlin in 1920.
