Banjo Man

Gimme a song i know, something i can relate to

People never criticise the way i play

Show me the way to go, i need to make a breakthrough

I don't think that i can wait another day



It's putting years on me, i'm a young man going grey

I don't believe that i can wait another day



This simple melody is all i have

I make my living that way

I make good friends that way

Ooh, i really can make no sense of it, as hard as i try

Is it something i do wrong please won't you tell me why

People all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than i



I met a man today who walked in my direction

Stopped took off his hat and lit a cigarette

He listened carefully to what i had been playing

He threw a coin into my hat and walked away



Always play just what they want me to

Everybody wants the same song

If only i could do it in my own way

I feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, ooh



Say gimme a song i know, something i can relate to

And no one wants to criticise the way i play

I should just say no and play them what i want to

Cos i don't think that i can wait another day



It's putting years on me, i'm a young man going grey

I don't believe that i can wait another day



This simple melody is all i have

I make my living that way

I make good friends that way

They feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh

Emotion, emotion, ooh
