The Banjo Song - Paul Robeson, Ray Noble

I play the banjo better now

Than him that taught me to

Because he plays for all the world

And I did plays for you

He learned his tunes I guess with ??

A banjo string or two

Into the deepest of my heart

And draws up tunes for you

Slowly day comes swingin' up

A-quiverin' through and through

Till with a rush of teemin' notes

They read just like anew

I never knows if they will shine

Wet with tears or dew

I only knows that you are here

They shine because of you

They shine because of you

Of you
