Lyrics
There's a banjo man up in the hills, livin' in a cabin made of trees
livin' on mother natures love, singin' with the bears and the bees
but you never know, you might see him come summer
at the fiddle and the banjo fair
pickin' on the old 5 string, Lord, wish I was there.
(bridge)
Now, take me back to the mountains
we belong to the land, to the land
tappin' your foot to the music
he hugs all the women and shakes every hand
that country banjo man.
Well, he picks and he rolls, he can play it with his toes
he can play it just as fast as any other picker can
rockin and rollin', pokin' and jokin'
sippin' on a warm beer can
He plays 'til the mornin' goes down in the evening
he can sing every word to every song in the land
he hugs all the women and shakes every hand
that country banjo man.
