Old folks at home


Way down upon the Swanee river,
Far, far away,There's where my heart is turning ever,There's where the old folks stay. ChorusAll the world is sad and dreary,Ev'rywhere I roam,
Oh, darkies how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home. All up and down the whole creation,sadly I roam,
Still longing for the old plantation,
And for the folks at home. Chorus All 'round the little farm I wanderedwhen I was young,
Then many happy days I squandered,
Many the songs I sung. Chorus When I was playing with my brother,
Happy was I,Oh, take me to my kind old mother,
There let me live and die. Chorus One little hut among the bushes,
One that I love,
Still sadly to my memory rushes,
No matter where I rove. Chorus When shall I see the bees a-humming
All round the comb?
When shall I hear the banjo strumming
Down in my good old home? Chorus

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Paul LeRoy Bustill Robeson (1898-1976) was a multi-talented artist of extraordinary international fame. Born in Neshoba County, Mississippi, to an African American family, Robeson distinguished himself as an actor, baritone-bass singer, and civil rights activist. After graduating with a law degree from Columbia University, Robeson embarked on a successful theatrical career on Broadway, playing iconic roles such as Othello and Samson. His powerful voice and dramatic talent made him a beloved artist both in the United States and Europe. Robeson actively campaigned for social justice, denouncing racial discrimination and fighting for workers' rights. His radical political views led to his ostracism from the American entertainment world during the 1950s. Despite the difficulties, Robeson continued to sing and act worldwide, becoming a symbol of resistance and freedom. Among his most famous songs are "Ol' Man River", "Deep River" and "The Ballad of the Free Negro".
