- I'm a picker, I'm
a strummer, Play my banjo ev'ry day.
Plink, plink, plunk, plunk, Love to hear a banjo play.
Pick the notes and strum the chords and play the rhythm as we
may,
Listen to the banjo sing a song and hear it say:
"Come and strum along with me, That's the way we play.
Listen to the harmony, As we pick our notes away."
Any time, In any year, I love A Banjo in my ear,
- Plink, plink, plunking all
those nice old songs I love to hear.
