[Verse One]
Round de meadows am a ringing
De darkeys’ mournful song,
While de mocking-bird am singing,
Happy as de day am long.
Where de ivy am a-creeping
O’er de grassy mound,
Dare old massa am a-sleeping,
Sleeping in de cold, cold ground.
Chorus:
Down in de cornfield
Hear dat mournful sound:
All de darkeys am a weeping
Massa’s in de cold, cold ground. - Licensing
