Old Banjo

Old Banjo

Once I had an old banjo

It was strung with twine

And the only song that I could play

Trouble on my mind boys

Trouble on my mind

Trouble on my mind boys

Trouble on my mind



Well I went down to Lynchburg

Get me a bottle of wine

Hitched me to that whipping post

Gave 99 boys

Gave me 99

Gave 99 boys

Gave me 99



Well I went back to Lynchburg

Get me a bottle of gin

Hitched me to that whipping post

Gave me hell again boys

Gave me hell again

Gave me hell again boys

Gave me hell again



It’s raining, it’s hailin

It’s snowin from the sky

If I don’t get my true love

I reckon I will die boys

Reckon I will die

I reckon I will die boys

Reckon I will die



It’s trouble, trouble

Trouble on my mind

If trouble don’t kill me,

I’ll live a long time, boys

Live a long time

I’ll live a long time, boys

Live a long time



Yeah once I had an old banjo

It was strung with twine

And the only song that I could play

Trouble on my mind boys

Trouble on my mind

Trouble on my mind boys

Trouble on my mind
