Banjo man

Banjo man I'm a banjo man In banjo van Around the town I play Picking strings Singing things In my banjo way I play so fast The strings go twang Sometimes they even snap But I just chuckle As I play Cause I's a banjo chap I once was in a dueling fight I played but I forgot The strings I played Began to glow And the banjo got quite hot I threw it down And watched it burn The devil came to see I think you're great Old banjo man And new one gave to me Now when I play The strings stay cool And people shout and cheer I sing all day in Freddie bar And drink a pint of beer I have travelled Round the world I've even got a tan So come and see anytime Your friend the banjo man
