作曲 : Stephen Foster/1851
 De time is nebber dreary
 If de darkey nebber groans;
 De ladies nebber weary
 Wid de rattle of de bones:
 Den come again Susanna
 By de gaslight ob de moon;
 We'll tum de old Piano
 When de banjo's out ob tune.
 Ring, ring de banjo!
 I like dat good old song,
 Come again my true lub, Oh!
 Wha you been so long.
 Nebber count de bubbles
 While der's water in de spring;
 De darkey hab no troubles
 While he's got dis song to sing.
 De beauties ob creation
 will nebber lose der charm
 While I roam de old plantation
 Wid my true lub on my arm.
 Ring, ring de banjo!
 I like dat good old song,
 Come again my true lub, Oh!
 Wha you been so long.
 Once I was so lucky,
 My massa set me free,
 I went to old Kentucky
 To see what I could see:
 I could not go no farder,
 I turn to massa's door,
 I lub him all de harder,
 I'll go away no more.
 Ring, ring de banjo!
 I like dat good old song,
 Come again my true lub, Oh!
 Wha you been so long.
 Early in de morning
 Ob a lubly summer day,
 My massa sent me warning
 He'd like to hear me play.
 On de banjo tapping,
 I come wid dulcem strain;
 Massa fall a napping
 he'll nebber wake again.
 Ring, ring de banjo!
 I like dat good old song,
 Come again my true lub, Oh!
 Wha you been so long.
 Ring, ring de banjo!
 I like dat good old song,
 Come again my true lub, Oh!
 Wha you been so long.
 Ring, ring de banjo!
 I like dat good old song,
 Come again my true lub, Oh!
 Wha you been so long.
