Me and My Old Banjo
By Sonny Osborne


   G                  C            G
Well the sun came up, bright and clear
                      D7
I headed for the fishin’ hole.
   G                         C
Just in case the fish don’t bite,
    G              D7    G 
I brought along my old banjo.

Bluegrass playin’ on the radio
I sure do love that sound.
I come here to fish, but I changed my mind
Too much movin’ around

(Chorus)
The sun’s so hot and I’m so tired
I just can’t do no more
Under the shade of my old oak tree
Me and my old banjo

(Instrumental break)

I could try my hand at Soldier’s Joy, 
or maybe Cripple Creek.
But listenin’ to Earl’s Breakdown, 
that makes my fingers weak.

(Chorus)
The sun’s so hot and I’m so tired
I just can’t do no more
Under the shade of my old oak tree
Me and my old banjo

(Instrumental break)

Now the sun’s a-goin’ down., It’s getting’ dark 
I guess I’d better go. 
But we’ll come back to the ol’ oak tree
Me and my old banjo

(Chorus)
The sun’s so hot and I’m so tired
I just can’t do no more
Under the shade of my old oak tree
Me and my old banjo
Me and my old banjo
Me and my old banjo
