BANJO SAM

Oh, banjo Sam, my name is banjo Sam.

Banjo ring, banjo sing,
Banjo tell me everything,
Hello, banjo Sam.
Hello, banjo Sam.

Banjo walk, banjo talk,
banjo eat with a knife and a fork,
Hello banjo Sam.

Yonder comes Ezell, just in town,
Riding up a billy goat, leadin' up a hound;
Hound it barked, billy goat jumped,
throwd old Ezell straddle of a stump.
My name is banjo Sam.

I went a fishin' and I fished for shad,
First I caught was my old dad.
Jerked him up and he fell back,
Next one was a great big cat.

Throwed my hook in the middle of a hole,
catfish got my hook and pole,
Hello, banjo Sam.
