The Banjo Man lyrics

I tried to be a famous guitar man

A star, a hero from Ohio to Japan

I dreamed of golden rooms

Champagne and caviar

My own Rolls Royce

Oh, it's wonderful being a star

But now I tramp the roads throughout the land

A needy hobo with a banjo in my hand

In honky-tonks and bars

I play this melody, oh it's so easy

So come on, sing this after me

Wee, oh wee, oh when my name is Dan

I'm the banjo man, I'm the banjo man

Playing when I can

Dee dee dee dee dum, you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

I need to play my banjo to survive

To earn a living every day, to stay alive

In honky-tonks and bars

I play this melody, oh it's so easy

So come on, sing this after me

Wee, oh wee, oh when my name is Dan

I'm the banjo man, I'm the banjo man

Playing when I can

Dee dee dee dee dum, you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

And let me thank the ones who pay

To those who like the way I play

And let me thank the ones who pay

To those who like the way I play

Wee, oh wee, oh when my name is Dan

I'm the banjo man, I'm the banjo man

Playing when I can

Dee dee dee dee dum, you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Oh, the banjo man is back

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Wee, oh wee, oh when my name is Dan

I'm the banjo man, I'm the banjo man

Playing when I can

Dee dee dee dee dum, you hear the drum

Of the banjo man

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again

Oh, the banjo man is back

Oh, the banjo man is back in town again
