Michie Bainjo

Voyez ce mulet la, Michie Bainjo, Comme il est insolent!
Chapeau sur la cote, Michie Bainjo,
La canne al la main, Michie Bainjo,
Bottes qui fait crin crin, Michie Bainjo
Voyez ce mulet la, Michie Bainjo, Comme il est insolent!

Look at Mister Banjo, funny little fellow
Doesn't he put on airs!
Walking stick in hand, Mister Banjo,
Hat cocked on one side, Mister Banjo,
Boats that go "crank, crank", Mister Banjo,
Look at Mister Banjo, funny little fellow
Doesn't he put on airs!

Creole, probably minstrel show or vaudeville origin
Michie = M'sieu
