What’s it all About?
“Angeline the Baker” is a song that was originally written and published in 1850 by composer Stephen Collins Foster, who created it for a minstrel group. The original song, titled “Angelina Baker”, included lyrics about an enslaved woman who was sold by her owner to a different plantation. Parts of the melody and verses have carried over to modern versions, but the lyrics you are more likely to hear today are about the missed chance to marry a baker named Angeline.
