Where did the song do your ears hang low originate?

1 Answer

The origin of the song is most likely George Washington Dixon's "Zip Coon", penned in 1838. However, according to folklorists such as Ed Cray, the evidence strongly suggests a more vulgar version of this song came first, and that "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" is a sanitized version.
