_ Way down upon the [Db] old plantation,
_ [Abm] Old Master used to own me [Eb] as a slave.
He [Eb] had a yellow galley [Db] called Arena,
_ [Eb] And we courted where the wild bananas [Ab]
weighed.
_ For long [Db] years there we courted,
And [Eb] we were as happy as one.
I hard worked to [Gm] form a dear [Db] old master,
[Eb] And the happiness of life had just begun.
_ [Ab] No more of the [Db] moonshine's on the arena,
_ [Eb] As we sit and watch the coon among the corn,
And the possum playing [Ab] on the wild [Db]
banana,
_ [Eb] And the old owl [Ab] hooting like a horn.

_ [Eb] One day I went to see [Fm] dear Lorena,
_ [Ab] I thought that she would meet me [Eb] at the gate,
But they took her away to [Db] old Virginia,
_ [Eb] And left me to mourn for her [Ab] fate.
For years I had [Db] longed to see her,
_ [Eb] Thoughts of her was ever in my head.
One day Master read me [Db] a letter,
_ [Eb] Telling me that Lorena she [Eb] was dead.
_ No more of the moonshine's on the [Db] arena, _
As [Ab] we sit and watch the coon among [Eb] the corn,
And [Eb] the possum playing on the wild [Db] banana, _
And [Eb] the old owl hooting like [Ab] a horn.
But I [Ab] know that her soul has gone to heaven,
_ And there she is ever free [Eb] from pain,
_ To [Ab] her brighter crown [Gm] it is [Db] given,
_ [Eb] And no more will she [Ebm] wear the darkest [Eb] chain.
_ No more of the moonshine's on the [Db] arena,
_ [Ab] As we sit and watch the coon [Eb] among the corn,
And [Ab] the possum playing on the [Db] wild banana,
_ _ [Eb] And the old owl hooting like a horn.
