The Banjo Man - BZN

I tried to be a famous guitar man

A star, a hero from Ohio to Japan

I dreamed of golden rooms, champagne and caviar

My own Rolls Royce, oh, it’s wonderful being a star

But now I tramp the roads throughout the land

A needly hobo with a banjo in my hand

In honky-tonks and bars I play this melody

Oh, it’s so easy, so come on, sing this after me

Wee, oh, wee, oh, when (Wee, oh, wee, oh, when), my name is Dan

I’m the banjo man

I’m the banjo man

Playing when I can

Deedeedeedee, dum (Deedeedeedee, dum), you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Yeah!

I need to play my banjo to survive

To earn a living every day, to stay alive

In honky-tonks and bars I play this melody

Oh, it’s so easy, so come on, sing this after me

Wee, oh, wee, oh, when (Wee, oh, wee, oh, when), my name is Dan

I’m the banjo man

I’m the banjo man

Playing when I can

Deedeedeedee, dum (Deedeedeedee, dum), you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

And let me thank the ones who pay

To those who like the way I play

And let me thank the ones who pay

To those who like the way I play

Wee, oh, wee, oh, when (Wee, oh, wee, oh, when), my name is Dan

I’m the banjo man

I’m the banjo man

Playing when I can

Deedeedeedee, dum (Deedeedeedee, dum), you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Oh, the banjo man is back

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Wee, oh, wee, oh, when (Wee, oh, wee, oh, when), my name is Dan

I’m the banjo man

I’m the banjo man

Playing when I can

Deedeedeedee, dum (Deedeedeedee, dum), you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Oh, the banjo man is back

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again
