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
