- Verse:
- I've a pal a hanging there,
On the wall with treasures rare.
- I just sit and look and
say, "Dear old pal, we've had our day."
-
- Chorus:
- Just An Old Banjo, Without
any strings,
- And I Love it so! For the
mem'ries it brings,
- Just An Old Banjo, That
wakes up and sings,
- Songs of long ago, That
I used to know.
- It seems to me that ghostlike
fingers,
- Play each melody that dreams
and lingers,
- On my old banjo. And oh!
how it rings,
- Just An Old Banjo, Without
any strings.
