OLD BANJO

I lost my fortune long ago

All I have left is my old banjo

But my voice is true and my arms are strong

I will win your heart with just a song

CHORUS:       

With my old banjo 

I’ve faced hell and heroes and kings

Till I can’t tell my fingers from its strings

I will wait outside your window

I will play for you on my old banjo

And the shadows will fall and the wind will blow

But I’ll wait for you barefoot in snow

CHORUS

I lost my fortune long ago

All I have is my old banjo

And the dream of you and a love so strong

That I will win your heart with just a song

CHORUS
