"Ring de banjo" è una canzone del 1851 del compositore statunitense Stephen Collins Foster. La canzone, scritta nel dialetto dei neri del sud degli Stati Uniti, parla di uno schiavo appena liberato che torna nella sua piantagione per suonare il banjo accanto al letto del suo ex-padrone mentre questi sta morendo.

LYRICS
De time is nebber dreary
If de darkey nebber groans;
De ladies nebber weary
Wid de rattle ob de bones;
Den ome again Susanna
By de gaslight ob de moon;
We’ll tum de old Piano
When de banjo’s out ob tune.

chorus:
Ring, ring de banjo!
I like dat good old song,
Come again my true lub,
Oh! whar you been so long.

Oh! 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 harm
While I roam de old plantation
Wid my true lub on my arm.

chorus

Once I was so lucky,
My massa set me free,
I went to old Kentucky
To see what I ould 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.

chorus

Early in de morning
Ob a lubly summer day,
My massa send me warning
He’d like to hear me play.
On de banjo tapping,
I come wid dulem strain;
Massa fall a napping
He’ll nebber wake again.

chorus

My lub, I’ll hab to leabe you
While de ribber’s running high;
But I nebber can deceibe you
So dont you wipe your eye.
I’s guine to make some money;
But I’ll come anodder day
I’ll come again my honey,
If I hab to work my way.

chorus
