Hey, Banjo by John David Lawson published on 2023-10-04T03:12:20Z Hey, Banjo Words and music by John David Lawson Hey banjo Can you give me a happy tune Isn't that what you do If I could learn to play you Would you tell truth? I could whistle Toot on a pennyflute Strum two chords on a uke Maybe those things would sound cute If they weren't so cruel My piano Gathers dust in the studio Harmonica just blows Cello is far too mellow Accordion bellows Hey banjo Can you help me with my head To write again, at least try To forget what a friend had said Hoping it was a lie 'Cause someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Someone's in the kitchen ohh Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah The rest you know Hey banjo Guess I got played by you Got taken in by your tune And if I never hear five strings again That would be too soon ----- Credits: Vocals, piano, guitar, banjo, harmonica, accordion - John David Lawson Photo by Morgan Lane on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/wlY66otjq28 "Hey, Banjo", music and lyrics © 2023 John David Lawson.

For me, my instruments are like friends and I was always touched when they allowed me to immediately elicit beautiful sounds from them. That enriched my life and in between there was often a joy and wisdom that touched me deeply. So well done! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you and your beautiful, profound songs. Always a pleasure to listen to you! 2023-10-07T15:41:05Z Comment by Andy Dolphin Delightful Dave 2023-10-04T12:20:02Z
