TENNESSEE BANJO MAN
Written by Kenneth R. McDuffie
As sung by Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver on "A School of Bluegrass" (2004)

1. Well, Hacksaw Jack is tall and lean.
The devil's in his soul and his eyes are green
He'll get your woman if he can.
They love the Tennessee banjo man.

CHORUS: Play that banjo, make it ring
See old Hacksaw pickin' on the string.
The girls get to cryin' and they clap their hands
The love the Tennessee banjo man.

2. Well, he picks all night and sleeps all day.
Wild as a buck, he was made that way.
There's musical magic in his hands.
They love the Tennessee banjo man.

3. When the moon comes up and the sun goes down,
That's when Hacksaw comes to town.
They all gather 'round and they clap their hands
They love the Tennessee banjo man
