I had a quick search and couldn't find the lyrics. This is what I can remember of this song (and I'm not writing in all the lllllll's - it would take far too long!):

I used to play my wee banjo
And rest it on my knee
But now the strings have broken down
And it's no good to me

I took it the mender's shop
To see what he could do
And when he gave it back to me
It was as good as new

(Unfortunately!)

My daughter sings that. I'll ask her for it.

Does anyone know the words to the song that goes "I u-l-l-used to p-l-lay my yel-l-low banjel-l-lo and rel-l-lest it onl-l-lon my knee-l-l-l-e" (It's a bit difficult to spell out but if you've heard the song you'll know what I mean)

I think it (the banjo) is broken and taken to the menders - but what happens next?
