Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground

Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground - Nelson Eddy

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 creeping

O'er de grassy mound

Dare old massa am a sleeping

Sleeping in de cold cold ground

Down in de cornfield Hear dat mournful sound:

All de darkeys am a weeping

-- Massa's in de cold cold ground

Massa made de darkeys love him

Cayse he was so kind

Now dey sadly weep above him

Mourning cayse he leave dem behind

I cannot work before tomorrow

Cayse de tear drops flow

I try to drive away my sorrow Pickin on de old banjo

Down in de cornfield Hear dat mournful sound:

All de darkeys am a weeping

-- Massa's in de cold cold ground

Down in de cornfield Hear dat mournful sound:

All de darkeys am a weeping

-- Massa's in de cold cold ground
