[Verse] Now we all know the violin plays sweetly And the steel guitar thrills all the world completely But for all around good fun theres really only one And its round and firm and fully packed and puts the blues on the run And you just cant play a sad song on the banjo A banjo tune will have to make you smile And when youre feeling low and melancholy Just pick up the old banjo by Golly [Chorus] Because you just cant play a sad song on the banjo [Bridge] Now bad news just wont hang around the banjo Old dismal gloom will have to disappear A sad song cant be played so please dont be afraid [Chorus]
banjo, sad, play, dismal, song
