bobby played the banjo in a country band
he was the very best  always in demand
all the folks would gather as he began to play
clapping and a tapping as he played away

lots of fancy runs lots of fancy licks
with his picking too and his picking tricks
every body loved him they would shout for more
bobbys banjo playing they never seen before.

he was very different better than the rest
of all the banjo players he was the very best
made you wanna dance make you wanna sing
with his banjo music that only he could bring

with his fancy runs and his picking tricks
made you clap and sing to his country licks
all the folks would gather as he began to play
clapping and a tapping as he played away
