Daddy Played The Banjo Lyrics - The Crow - Steve Martin

Daddy played the banjo, 'neath the yellow tree, 

It rang across the backyard, an old time melody, 

I loved to hear the music, I was only five, 

I listened as his fingers made the banjo come alive. 

Sometimes I'd wake up at night, and hear a distant tune, 

The banjo would echo, 'round my childhood room, 

I'd sneak down the back stairs, Daddy never knew. 

I'd grab a broom and make believe, I was pickin', too. 

One day Daddy put my fingers down upon his fist, 

He picked it with his other hand, we made the banjo ring; 

Now the music takes me back, cross the yellow day, 

Soon the summer's with my Dad, and the tunes he made. 

But I'm just tellin' lyes 'bout the things I did, 

See I'm that banjo player who never had a kid, 

Now, I sit, beneath that yellow tree, 

Hopin' that a kid somewhere, is listening to me.

Daddy played the banjo, 'neath the yellow tree, 

It rang across the backyard and wove a spell on me, 

Now the banjo takes me back, through the foggy haze, 

With memories of what never was, become the good old days.
