The time is never dreary if a darkey never groans
The ladies never weary with the rattle of the bones
Then come again Susanna, by gas-light of the moon
We'll tum the old piano when the banjo's out of tune
Ring, ring the banjo! How I like that good old song
Come again my true love, oh where you been so long
Oh never count the bubbles, while there's water in the spring
The darkey'll have no troubles, when he's got this song to sing
The beauties of creation, will never lose their charm
While I roam the old plantation with my true love on my arm
Ring, ring the banjo! How I love that good old song
Come again my true love, oh where you been so long
ย
Well once I was so lucky, my massa set me free
I went to ol' Kentucky to see what I could see
I could not go no further, I 'turned to massa's door
I'll love him all the harder, I'll go away no more
Ring, ring the banjo! How I love that good old song
Come again my true love, oh where you been so long
Early in the morning, on a lovely summer day
My massa sent me warning, he'd like to hear me play
On the banjo I was tapping, I come with dulcem strain
My massa fall a-napping, he'll never wake again
Ring, ring the banjo! How I love that good old song
Come again my true love, oh where you been so long
ย
Ring, ring the banjo! How I love that good old song
Come again my true love, oh where you been so long
Ring, ring the banjo! How I love that good old song
Come again my true love, oh where you been so long
