The Banjo Am the Instrument
[Verse 1]
I like the gold pianer and I like the fiddle too
The old guitar makes music awful sweet
But when i pick the old banjo, my heart is mighty free
The banjo am the instrument for me!

[Chorus]
Let me hear the banjo
I like that good ole five string melody
It makes me feel so happy
My heart so light and free
The banjo am the instrument for me!

[Verse 2]
Well I used to court the ladies
And pluck the old banjo
They gathered 'round me happy as can be
Thats why the cute one liked me, that's when she told me so
And the banjo am the instrument for me!

[Chorus]
Well let me hear the banjo
I like that good ole five string melody
It makes me feel so happy
My heart so light and free
The banjo am the instrument for me!
[Verse 3]
Now I'm old and feeble
Grandchildren by the score
And every night they sit upon my knee
Thats when I scoot 'em over, just to make a little room
Cause the banjo am the instrument for me!

[Chorus]
Well let me hear the banjo
I like that good ole five string melody
It makes me feel so happy
My heart so light and free
The banjo am the instrument for me!
