"Song when homesick too much for the bush in Mali."
"Chanson quand trop nostalgique pour en brousse au Mali."


Old Folks At HomeJe Danse Pour Mali My Home
Way down upon the Swanee RiverWay down upon the Niger River
Far, far away,Beyond Timbuktoo a day;
There’s where my heart is turning ever, There’s where mon coeur is turning ever,
There’s where the old folks stay.Mes cousins là-bas je vais frapper;
All up and down the whole creation,All up and down meadows in Lac Débo,
Sadly I roam,Funny fat hippos graze;
Still longing for the old plantation,Vaches "moo" in sweet Soudan grass they mow,
And for the old folks at home. Chorus.Toujours in my Soul's Grâce and gaze. Chorus.
All ’round the little farm I wanderedAll 'round nos hameaux we ran and played
When I was young,When we were young,
Then many happy days I squandered,So poor and hungry, thus blest and graced;
Many the songs I sung.Food and l'argent, peu or none.
When I was playing with my brotherWhen we were milking missiou then,
Happy was I.Visions saw I !
Oh! take me to my kind old mother,Take me en brousse au Mali, my Heaven!
There let me live and die. Chorus.There let me live and die. Chorus.

One little hut among the bushes,One little scene among the Visions,
One that I love,One that I love,
Still sadly to my mem’ry rushesStill swiftly to my mem’ry rushes,
No matter where I rove.On God's Word from above:
When will I see the bees a-hummingLe Western Union sent woori often,
Al ’round the comb?We weren't yet grown;
When will I hear the banjo strummingYou got Grâce, we were feting and feastin',
Down in my good old home? Chorus.Down in our good old home. Chorus.
Chorus:Chorus:
All the world is sad and dreary,Les Enfants de Dieu serve poor, suffer holy;
Everywhere I roam,En mission for Thy Throne;
Oh mammy, how my heart grows weary, Oh Allah, how ma l’Âme grows merry;
Far from the old folks at home.Je danse pour Mali my home.

"J'ai ecrit cet chason pour ma fiancee, une fille Peuhl du Mali, pour chanter quand elle est la au USA d'etre ma femme et trop nostalgique pour notre belle Mali. On veut plus de 14 enfants, ma mere et mon pere ont eu 14 enfants, 7 filles et 7 garcons, je suis #7 enfant."

"I wrote this song for my fiancee, a Peuhl girl from Mali, to sing when she is here in USA to be wife and homesick for our beautiful Mali. We want more than 14 kids, my Ma & Pa had 14 kids, 7 girls & 7 boys, I am #7 child."
