Matthew 16.
I think I might have posted this song a lifetime ago. Or maybe not quite that long.
For whatever reason, I was hearing this song in my head all day, but I couldn't get the words right. How exactly one does this, I don't know, but the mind has a way of filling in the blanks.
Anyway, it's impossible not to be in a good mood after listening to this.
And in my book, anyone who has the word "banjer" in their vocabulary belongs in the Right Honourable category of life.
"I likes the ol pianer, I likes the fiddle too,
The guitar makes the music awful sweet.
But when I pick the banjer, my heart is mighty free
The banjer am the instrument for me!
Well, let me hear the banjo,
I like that good ol' five string melody
It makes me feel so happy, my hearts so light and free,
The banjo am the instrument for me.
Well I used to court the ladies, and flog the ol' banjo
They gathered round me happy as can be
That's why the children like me, when things told me so
The banjo am the instrument for me.
Well, let me hear the banjo,
I like that good ol' five string melody
It makes me feel so happy, my hearts so light and free,
The banjo am the instrument for me.
Now I'm old and feeble, grand children by the score,
Every night they set upon my knee,
That’s when I scoot 'em over just to make a little room,
Cause the banjo am the instrument for me.
Well, let me hear the banjo,
I like that good ol' five string melody
Well it makes me feel so happy, my hearts so light and free,
The banjo am the instrument for me."
