Verse:

The time is nev -er drea -ry, If a fel -low nev -er groans,

The la -dies nev -er wea -ry of a man who sel -dom moans.

So come a -gain, Su -san -na, by the gas -light of the moon,

Come play the old pi -a -no, While my ban -jo I will tune.

 

Chorus:

Ring, Ring the Ban -jo! I like that good old song.

Come a -gain, my true love, Oh! Where've you been so long?

Ring, Ring the Ban -jo! I like that good old song.

Come a -gain, my true love, Oh! Where've you been so long?
