The time is never dreary,
If you never ever moans;
The girls are never weary
With the rattle of the bones:
So come again Susanna
By the gaslight ob de moon;
We'll blow the old mouth-organ
When de banjo's out of tune.
Refrain:
Ring, ring de banjo!
I like that good old song,
Come away my true love,
Oh! why you been so long.
Once I was so lucky,
My master set me free,
I went to old Kentucky
To see what I could see:
I could not go no further,
I turn to master's door,
I love him all the harder,
I'll go away no more.
Early in de morning
Ob a lovely summer day,
My master send me warning
He'd like to hear me play.
On de banjo tapping,
I came with sweet refrain;
Master fell a sleeping -
He'll never wake again.
My love, I'll have to leave you
While de river's running high:
But I never can deceive you -
So dont you wipe your eye.
I's guine to make some money;
But I'll come another day -
I'll come again my honey,
If I have to work my way.
