Down on the Old Plantation Songtext
von Johnny Bond

I hear the banjos a-ringin′
Those melodies that linger in my heart
I hear the old folks singin'
Those good old songs that make the teardrops start


Oh, how I long to go back again
Back to that blue Dixie sky
Down on the old plantation
Oh, take me there and let me live and die

Now there′s a stone 'neath the maple tree
Where mothers lay there to rest
Down on the old plantation
She's sleepin′ in the place she loved the best
