作曲 : Stephen Foster/1850
Way down on de old plantation dah’s where I was born,
I used to beat de whole creation hoein in de corn;
Oh! den I work and den I sing so happy all de day,
Till Angelina Baker came and stole my heart away.
Angelina Baker! Angelina Baker’s gone
She left me here to weep a tear
And beat on de old jawbone.
I’ve seen my Angelina in de spring-time and de fall,
I’ve seen her in de corn-field and I’ve seen her at de ball;
And ebry time I met her she was smiling like de sun,
But now I’m left to weep a tear cayse Angelina’s gone.
Angelina Baker! Angelina Baker’s gone
She left me here to weep a tear
And beat on de old jawbone.
Angelina am so tall she nebber sees de ground,
She hab to take a wellumscope to look down on de town
Angelina likes de boys as far as she can see dem,
She used to run old Massa round to ax him for to free dem.
Angelina Baker! Angelina Baker’s gone
She left me here to weep a tear
And beat on de old jawbone.
Early in de morning ob a lubly summer day
I ax for Angelina, and dey say “she’s gone away”
I don’t know wha to find her, cayse I don’t know wha she’s gone,
She left me here to weep a tear and beat on de old jawbone.
Angelina Baker! Angelina Baker’s gone
She left me here to weep a tear
And beat on de old jawbone.
Angelina Baker! Angelina Baker‘s gone!
