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 here it say:
Come and strum along with me,  That's the way we play.
Listen to the harmony,  As we pick our song away.
Any time,  In any year,  I love A Banjo in my ear,
Plink, plink, plunk ing all those nice old songs I love to hear.
