Music: "Old Folks At Home," by Stephen Foster (1826-64)
Lyric: Stephen Foster & Richard Gannon © 2001 TUTTglobal.com
"Song when homesick too much for the bush in Mali."
"Chanson quand trop nostalgique pour en brousse au
Mali."
| Old Folks At Home | Je Danse Pour Mali My Home |
| Way down upon the Swanee River | Way down upon the Niger River |
| Far, far away, | Beyond Timbuktoo a day; |
| Theres where my heart is turning ever, | Theres where mon coeur is turning ever, |
| Theres 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 wandered | All '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 brother | When 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 memry rushes | Still swiftly to my memry rushes, |
| No matter where I rove. | On God's Word from above: |
| When will I see the bees a-humming | Le Western Union sent woori often, |
| Al round the comb? | We weren't yet grown; |
| When will I hear the banjo strumming | You 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 lÂme grows merry; |
| Far from the old folks at home. | Je danse pour Mali my home. |

"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."
