about

The original version of Stephen Foster's classic. Over time this song lost its lyrics, and morphed into the fiddle tune standard known today.

lyrics

Way down on the old plantation
That's where I was born
Used to beat the whole creation
Hoeing in the corn

First I'd work and then I'd sing
So happy all the day
Til Angelina Baker came
And stole my heart away

Angelina Baker
Angelina Baker's gone
She left me here to weep a tear
And beat on the old jawbone

I used to meet old Angeline
In the spring and in the fall
I'd meet her at the cornfield
And I'd meet her at the ball

Every time I met her
She was smiling like the sun
Now I'm left to weep a tear
Cause Angelina's gone

Chorus


Well early in the morning
And on into the day
I'd look for Angelina
But they'd say she's gone away

I don't know where to find her
Cause I don't know where she's gone
And now I'm left to weep a tear
And beat on the old jawbone

Chorus
