Some carol of the banjo, to its measure keeping time; 
Of viol or of lute some make a song. 
My battered old accordion, you're worthy of a rhyme, 
You've been my friend and comforter so long. 
Round half the world I've trotted you, a dozen years or more; 
You've given heaps of people lots of fun; 
You've set a host of happy feet a-tapping on the floor... 
Alas! your dancing days are nearly done. 

I've played you from the palm-belt to the suburbs of the Pole; 
From the silver-tipped sierras to the sea. 
The gay and gilded cabin and the grimy glory-hole 
Have echoed to your impish melody. 
I've hushed you in the dug-out when the trench was stiff with dead; 
I've lulled you by the coral-laced lagoon; 
I've packed you on a camel from the dung-fire on the bled, 
To the hell-for-breakfast Mountains of the Moon. 

I've ground you to the shanty men, a-whooping heel and toe, 
And the hula-hula graces in the glade. 
I've swung you in the igloo to the lousy Esquimau, 
And the Haussa at a hundred in the shade. 
The Nigger on the levee, and the Dinka by the Nile 
have shuffled to your insolent appeal. 
I've rocked with glee the chimpanzee, and mocked the crocodile, 
And shocked the pompous penquin and the seal. 

I've set the yokels singing in a little Surrey pub, 
Apaches swinging in a Belville bar. 
I've played an obligato to the tom-tom's rub-a-dub, 
And the throb of Andalusian guitar. 
From the Horn to Honolulu, from the Cape to Kalamazoo, 
From Wick to Wicklow, Samarkand to Spain, 
You've roughed it with my kilt-bag like a comrade tried and true.... 
Old pal! We'll never hit the trail again. 

Oh I know you're cheap and vulgar, you're an instrumental crime. 
In drawing-rooms you haven't got a show. 
You're a musical abortion, you're the voice of grit and grime, 
You're the spokesman of the lowly and the low. 
You're a democratic devil, you're the darling of the mob; 
You're a wheezy, breezy blasted bit of glee. 
You're the headache of the high-bow, you're the horror of the snob, 
but you're worth your weight in ruddy gold to me. 

For you've chided me in weakness and you've cheered me in defeat; 
You've been an anodyne in hours of pain; 
And when the slugging jolts of life have jarred me off my feet, 
You've ragged me back into the ring again. 
I'll never go to Heaven, for I know I am not fit, 
The golden harps of harmony to swell; 
But with asbestos bellows, if the devil will permit, 
I'll swing you to the fork-tailed imps of Hell. 

Yes, I'll hank you, and I'll spank you, 
And I'll everlasting yank you 
To the cinder-swinging satellites of Hell. 

 
Irgendein Lied des Banjo, zu seinem Maß, das Zeit hält; Vom viol 
oder des Dichtungskitts irgendeine Marke ein Lied. Mein zerschlagenes 
altes Akkordeon, sind Sie von einem Reim angemessen, sind Sie mein 
Freund und Deckbett so lang gewesen. Runde Hälfte Welt habe ich Sie, 
Dutzend Jahre oder mehr getrottet; Sie haben Haufen der 
Leutelose Spaßes gegeben; Sie haben einen Wirt der glücklichen 
Füße eingestellt, die auf dem Fußboden ein-klopfen... Leider! 
Ihre tanzenden Tage sind fast erfolgt. 

Ich habe Sie vom Palme-Riemen zu den Vororten des Polen gespielt; Von 
den Silber-gespitzten Sierra zum Meer. Das Homosexuelle und die 
vergoldete Kabine und die grimy Ruhm-Bohrung haben zu Ihrer 
schelmischen Melodie widergehallt. Ich habe Sie im Dug-out beruhigt, 
als der Graben mit Toten steif war; Ich habe Sie durch die 
Koralle-geschnürte Lagune eingeschläfert; Ich habe Sie auf einem 
Kamel vom Dungfeuer auf geblutet, zu den Hölle-für-Frühstück 
Bergen des Mondes verpackt. 

Ich habe Sie zu den Seemannsliedmännern, ein-a-whooping Ferse und 
Zehe und die hula-hula Umgangsformen in der Lichtung gerieben. Ich 
habe Sie im Iglu zum miesen Eskimo und das Haussa an hundert im 
Farbton geschwungen. Das Nigger auf dem Levee und die Dinka durch den 
Nil haben zu Ihrem unverschämten Anklang geschlurft. Ich habe mit 
Freuden den Schimpansen geschaukelt und das Krokodil verspottet und 
entsetzt das bombastische penquin und die Dichtung. 

Ich habe die Yokels eingestellt, die in einer wenigen Surrey 
Publikation, die Apaches singen, die in einem Belville Stab schwingen. 
Ich habe einen Obligato zu den tom-toms reiben-ein-betitele und der 
Throb der Andalusian Guitarre gespielt. Vom Horn nach Honolulu, vom 
Kap zu Kalamazoo, vom Ölerfilz zu Wicklow, Samarkand nach Spanien, 
haben Sie roughed es mit meinem Kiltbeutel wie einem versuchten 
Kameraden und ausrichten... Alter Kamerad! Wir schlagen nie die Spur 
wieder. 

OH- I wissen, daß Sie preiswert sind und vulgär, Sie ein 
instrumentelles Verbrechen sind. In den Drawing-rooms haben Sie nicht 
ein Erscheinen erhalten. Sie sind eine musikalische Abtreibung, sind 
Sie die Stimme des Kornes und Schmutz, sind Sie der Wortführer vom 
niedrigen und das Tief. Sie sind ein demokratischer Teufel, Sie sind 
der Liebling des Pöbels; Sie sind eine wheezy, breezy gesprengte 
Spitze des Freuden. Sie sind die Kopfschmerzen von hoch-beugten, sind 
Sie die Grausigkeit des Snobs, aber Sie sind wert Ihr Gewicht 
im rötlichen Gold zu mir. 

Für Sie haben mich in der Schwäche gescholten und Sie haben mir in 
der Niederlage zugejubelt; Sie sind ein Anodyne in den Stunden der 
Schmerz gewesen; Und wenn die slugging Rucke des Lebens mich weg von 
meinen Füßen gerüttelt haben, haben Sie zackig mich zurück in den 
Ring wieder. Ich gehe nie zum Himmel, denn ich weiß, daß ich nicht, 
die goldenen Harfen der Harmonie gepaßt werde, um zu schwellen; Aber 
mit Asbest brüllt, wenn der Teufel ermöglicht, ich schwingt Sie zu 
den Gabel-angebundenen imps der Hölle. 

Ja verprügeln ich Willensknäuel Sie und ich Sie und mich Willensewig 
plötzlicher Stoß Sie zu den Asche-schwingsatelliten der Hölle. 

 
Algum carol do banjo, a sua medida que mantem o tempo; Do viol ou do 
lute algum make uma canção. Meu acordeão velho golpeado, você é 
digno de uma rima, você foi meus amigo e comforter assim por muito 
tempo. Metade redonda do mundo eu trotei você, uns dúzia anos ou 
mais; Você deu heaps de lotes dos povos do divertimento; Você 
ajustou um anfitrião dos pés felizes quebatem no assoalho... Alas! 
seus dias dançando são feitos quase. 

Eu joguei-o da palma-correia aos suburbs do Pólo; Dos sierras 
prata-derrubados ao mar. O gay e a cabine gilded e o glory-furo grimy 
ecoaram a sua melodia impish. Eu hushed o no dug-out quando a 
trincheira era dura com mortos; Eu lulled o pela lagoa coral-atada; Eu 
embalei-o em um camelo do dung-fogo no sangrado, às montanhas do 
inferno-para-pequeno almoço da lua. 

Eu moí-o aos homens do shanty, salto e dedo do pé um-gritar, e os 
graces do hula-hula no glade. Eu balancei-o no igloo ao esquimó 
lousy, e o Haussa em cem na máscara. O Nigger no levee, e os dinka 
pelo Nile baralharam a sua apelação insolent. Eu balancei com glee o 
chimpanzé, e mocked o crocodilo, e choquei o penquin pompous e o 
selo. 

Eu ajustei os yokels que cantam em pouca publicação de Surrey, 
apaches que balançam em uma barra de Belville. Eu joguei um obligato 
aos tom-tom friccion-um-rub-a-dub, e o throb da guitarra andalusian. 
Do chifre a Honolulu, do cape a Kalamazoo, do feltro de lubrificação 
a Wicklow, Samarkand a Spain, você tem roughed o com meu kilt-saco 
como um camarada tentado e rectifica-o... Pal velho! Nós nunca 
bateremos a fuga outra vez. 

O Oh I sabe que você é barato e vulgar, você é um crime 
instrumental. Nos drawing-rooms você não começou uma mostra. Você 
é um abortion musical, você é a voz do grão e grime, você está o 
spokesman do humilde e a um ponto baixo. Você é um diabo 
democrático, você é o querido do mob; Você é um bocado explodido 
wheezy, breezy do glee. Você é o headache do elevado-curvou-se, 
você é o horror do snob, mas você é worth seu peso no ouro ruddy a 
mim. 

Para você chided me na fraqueza e você cheered me na derrota; Você 
foi um anodyne nas horas da dor; E quando as sacudidas slugging da 
vida me rangeram fora de meus pés, você tem-me áspero para trás no 
anel outra vez. Eu nunca irei ao heaven, porque eu sei que eu não 
estou cabido, os harps dourados da harmonia para inchar; Mas com 
asbesto grita, se o diabo permitir, mim balançá-lo-á aos imps 
forquilha-fork-tailed do inferno. 

Sim, eu hank da vontade você, e eu espancar-me-emos o, e arranco 
everlasting da vontade você aos satélites cinza-balançando do 
inferno. 

 
Algún carol del banjo, a su medida que guarda tiempo; Del viol o del 
laúd una cierta marca una canción. Mi viejo acordión estropeado, 
usted es digno de una rima, usted ha sido mi amigo y comforter tan de 
largo. Mitad redonda del mundo he trotado usted, docena años o más; 
Usted ha dado montones de las porciones de la gente de diversión; 
Usted ha fijado un anfitrión de los pies felices uno-que golpeaban 
ligeramente en el piso... ¡Alas! sus días que bailan se hacen casi. 

Le he jugado de la palma-correa a los suburbios del poste; De los 
sierras plata-inclinados al mar. El gay y la cabina dorada y el 
gloria-agujero mugriento han repetido a su melodía traviesa. Hushed 
le en la trinchera cuando el foso era tieso con muertos; Le he calmado 
por la laguna coral-atada; Le he embalado en un camello del dung-fuego 
en haber sangrado, a las montañas del infierno-para-desayuno de la 
luna. 

Le he molido a los hombres de la chabola, talón y dedo del pie el 
uno-chillar, y las tolerancias del hula-hula en el glade. He hecho 
pivotar le en el iglú al esquimal lousy, y el Haussa en ciento en la 
cortina. El Nigger en el dique, y los dinka por el Nilo se han 
mezclado a su súplica insolente. He oscilado con glee el chimpancé, 
y de imitación el cocodrilo, y he dado una sacudida eléctrica el 
penquin pompous y el sello. 

He fijado a paletos que cantaban en una poca publicación de Surrey, 
apaches que hacían pivotar en una barra de Belville. He jugado un 
obligato a los tom-tom frotar-uno-doblo, y el latido de la guitarra 
andalua. Del cuerno a Honolulu, del cabo a Kalamazoo, del fieltro a 
Wicklow, Samarkand a España, usted tiene roughed la con mi 
falda-bolso como un camarada intentado y verdad... ¡Viejo amigacho! 
Nunca golpearemos el rastro otra vez. 

El Oh I sabe que usted es barato y vulgar, usted es un crimen 
instrumental. En salas usted no ha conseguido una demostración. Usted 
es un aborto musical, usted es la voz de la arena y grime, usted es el 
portavoz del humilde y el punto bajo. Usted es un diablo democrático, 
usted es el querido de la multitud; Usted es un pedacito arruinado 
wheezy, ventoso del glee. Usted es el dolor de cabeza del 
alto-arqueo', usted es el horror del snob, pero usted está 
digno de su peso en oro rubicundo a mí. 

Para usted me han regañado en la debilidad y usted me ha animado en 
derrota; Usted ha sido un anodyne sobre horas del dolor; Y cuando las 
sacudidas slugging de la vida me han sacudido de mis pies, usted me 
tiene desigual nuevamente dentro del anillo otra vez. Nunca iré al 
cielo, porque sé que me no caben, las arpas de oro de la armonía 
para hincharme; Pero con el asbesto grita, si el diablo permite, yo le 
hará pivotar a los imps bifurcacio'n-atados del infierno. 

Sí, yo madeja de la voluntad usted, y yo azotaremos le, y me tirón 
eterno de la voluntad usted a los satélites ceniza-que hacen pivotar 
del infierno.
