One little hut among de bushes,
One daty I love,
Still sadly my memory rushes,
No matter where I rove,
When will I see the bees a humming,
All round de comb,
When will I hear de banjo tuning
Down in my good old home?
Chorus.
All the world am sad and weary,
Everywhere I roam.
Oh! darkeys how my heart grows weary,
Far from the folks at home.
v
All round de little farm I wandered
When I was young.
De many happy day I squandered,
Many a song I sang,
When I was playing with my brothers,
Happy was I.
Oh! take me back to my kind old mother,
Let me live and die.- Informant
