OK, finally got a hold of the banjo player, and since the words are in the above post, what I am going to do here is give you the chords with just the word they are over on the sheet music. Do you want the melody line posted in abc format?
Please=C,(a)bout=E7,gone=A7
through=D7,(friend)ship=Ab7,ceases=G7,on=C
And=C/E,lis-=Eb07,-ten=G7/Dif=C,any=E7,nice=A7
not=D7,all=G7/4(this is odd-the 7 is over the 4),my=G7(ad-)vice=C
You=E7,best=A7,
Here's=D7,lots=G7luck=F#7,to=F7you=G7
Makes=C,how=E7,on=A7,
please=D9,about=G9,Pleas=C7,talk=B7,a-=Bb7,bout=A7,
Please=D9,(a)bout=G9,gone=C,C/E,Eb(0)7,Dm7-5,C7.
If this is not coherent, I'll go back and type in all the words again with the chords.
