The Banjo Man
I tried to be a famous guitar manA star, a hero from Ohio to JapanI dreamed of golden roomsChampagne and caviarMy own Rolls RoyceOh, it's wonderful being a star
But now I tramp the roads throughout the landA needy hobo with a banjo in my handIn honky-tonks and barsI play this melody, oh it's so easySo come on, sing this after me
Wee, oh wee, oh when my name is DanI'm the banjo man, I'm the banjo manPlaying when I canDee dee dee dee dum, you hear the drumOf the banjo manOh, the banjo man is back in town again
I need to play my banjo to surviveTo earn a living every day, to stay aliveIn honky-tonks and barsI play this melody, oh it's so easySo come on, sing this after me
Wee, oh wee, oh when my name is DanI'm the banjo man, I'm the banjo manPlaying when I canDee dee dee dee dum, you hear the drumOf the banjo manOh, the banjo man is back in town again
And let me thank the ones who payTo those who like the way I playAnd let me thank the ones who payTo those who like the way I play
