Gimme de Banjo

Dis is de day we make our pay-day,
dance, gal, gimme de banjo!

Oh, that banjo, that sevenstring-banjo,
dance, gal, gimme de banjo!

Haul away for Campeachy Bay, dance, gal ...

Haul away an' stretch out for ye pay-day, dance, gal ...

A dollar a day is a buckera´s pay, dance, gal ...

Bend yer high shoes an' lavender breeks, boys, dance, gal ...

There`s me Sal, she`s the gal for me, boys, dance, gal ...

I know she`ll be a-waiting for me-a, dance, gal ...

I`ll bang on the banjo to show her my love-o, dance, gal ...

Oh. that banjo, that ping-a, pong-a banjo! Dance, gal ...
