Hey Mr Banjo
Play a tune for me
Play Mr Banjo
A happy melody
We'll all clap our hands
And stamp our feet
You keep strummin' while we keep the beat
Play Mr Banjo
A pretty melody
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Hey Mr Banjo
Plunk another tune
Hurry Mr Banjo
The night ends all to soon
Make your banjo talk
While we dance and sing
Do a fancy walk
While you pick the strings
Play Mr Banjo
Plunk a tune for me
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Hey Mr Banjo
Play us just one more
Play Mr Banjo
Just like you did before
When the stars were high
And the moon is low
Keep on strummin' on your old banjo
Hey Mr Banjo
Play a tune for me
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Play Mr Banjo
Play a tune for me |
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain,
if you're looking for a wife.
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty
young daughter,
he's mighty handy with a gun and a knife.
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there.
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there.
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain.
I want his daughter for my wife.
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clilfton Clowers, he may take my life
Her tender lips ....
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain,
It's too lonely downhere below.
It's just not right to hide his dayghter
From the one who loves her so.
Her tender lips ...
But I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
(repeat to fade)
