Barker Thompson - Banjo Clown Lyrics

Johnny won't ya play me a fiddle tune gimme them happy feet
Get me walkin around on the ceilin and jigglin in my seat
Dance me a couple of Buster Brown shuffles try not to lose your mind
Beat boxin fiddle tune players are gettin pretty hard to find

Well you could be way up in heaven or the other playin the banjo clown
You could be on the road to Natchez brother with a lot of good songs goin down
Or on my old phonograph records doin a little C and then back to G
Or you could be out on a big ol paddlewheel floatin on out to sea

Johnny won't ya blow your old steamboat whistle blow it all sweet and low
I'd sing you a little harmony but I guess it was your time to go
I'd be glad to clap ya a little rhythm if ya come on back and play
There's been no one to take your place since you have gone away

Well you could be way up in heaven or the other playin the banjo clown
You could be on the road to Natchez brother with a lot of good songs goin down
Or on my old phonograph records, doin a little C and then back to G
Or you could be out on a big ol paddlewheel floatin on out to sea

Johnny won't ya play a silly banjo tune pluck it around on the hop
I gotta find a way to get me some get me some of what you got
Sail on down the old mighty morning bugle is callin you now
Captain Buck's Golden Eagle is pickin you up downtown

Well you could be way up in heaven or the other playin the banjo clown
You could be on the road to Natchez brother with a lot of good songs goin down
Or on my old phonograph records doin a little C and then back to G
Or you could be out on a big ol paddlewheel floatin on out to sea

Well you could be way up in heaven or the other playin the banjo clown
You could be on the road to Natchez brother with a lot of good songs goin down
Or on my old phonograph records doin a little C and then back to G
Or you could be out on a big ol paddlewheel floatin on out to sea
