Text
CREOLE:
Gardé piti mulet là “Musjeu Bainjo”,
La com’ li insolent!
Chapeau sul’ côté,
Soulié qui fait “Circ-crac”
gardé piti mulet là, “Musieu Bainjo,”
La com’ li insolent!
Gardé piti mulet là “Musjeu Bainjo”,
La com’ li insolent!
Foular á la pouche
La canne á la main.
Gardé piti mulet là, “Musieu Bainjo,”
La com’ li insolent!
ENGLISH:
See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”
Hasn’t he a saucy air!
Hat cock’d on one side,
New shoes that go “circ-crac”
See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”
Hasn’t he a saucy air!
See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”
Hasn’t he a saucy air!
Kerchief in his vest,
Walking-cane in hand.
See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”
Hasn’t he a saucy air!
