Verse:

The time is never dreary, If a fellow never groans,

The ladies never weary, Of a man who seldom moans.

So come again, Susanna, By the gaslight of the moon,

Come play the old piano, While my banjo I will tune.

 

Chorus:

Ring, Ring the Banjo! I like that good old song.

Come again, my true love, Oh! Where've you been so long?

Ring, Ring the Banjo! I like that good old song.

Come again, my true love, Oh! Where've you been so long?
