Grandpa Jones — 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!
