There he is! Again today Playing the banjo In every way A skip to his feat A song to his beat People will follow him till the end of the street His lips didn't move But, boy, did his hands! Even the busymen danced at their shops and their stands But the boy was not seen at the end of the day No one would dream to follow his way
They said he was gods gift to the people of maine They said he was a boy who just wanted the fame But he never spoke a word, didnt even look like he breathed And everyday,Β Β without a word, he took his leave
But there was a reason none followed the boy You think that they would with all of their joy But no one came back from the forest I fear They all end up gone, they all disappear
They say they leave to heaven with the little musician I say thats all a superstition I say its his banjo that traps its prey Luers them into an unclosed space Where they are forgetten by their father and mother Their friends, their family, their sister and brother
They say that those strings on the banjo he plays Are strings from the heavens that lightens our day But the strings are black metal cords That cuts the fingers and makes blood pour Banjo uses the boys blood to play another toon The boy is enclosed and trapped like the few That followed its toon and was taken away By the banjo, the banjo's tune will luer its prey
