The Banjo Song Lyrics

Paul Robeson The Banjo Song

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
