Onkel Tom

(Uncle Tom sings the beautiful songs)
(Uncle Tom from the old days)

When many years ago
We were still happy children
Came from a distant land
To us with the banjo a musician

Fairy tales and stories
He was able to tell us
And when it was over
Then we said oh that was wonderful

(Uncle Tom sings the beautiful songs)
(Uncle Tom from the old days)

Uncle Tom sings the beautiful songs
Uncle Tom from the old days

But time went on
We weren't always so cheerful
Went out into the world
Mommy stayed home alone

Then life has
Sometimes suffering and sometimes joy given
But a melody
From childhood days you never forget

(Uncle Tom sings the beautiful songs)
(Uncle Tom from the old days)

Uncle Tom sings the beautiful songs
Uncle Tom from the old days
