rockabilly banjo - brian setzer lyrics

when i was a young boy
watching our tv
all the family came
and gathered around
a young man with a banjo
with a grin from ear to ear
pickin’ out that high and lonesome sound
it wasn’t any kind of sound
that i had heard before
yet it was doggone plain
and clear to me
it was a rockabilly banjo
wish i knew what he knows
sittin’ on his front porch
pickin’ on the strings
any kind of music
he can make it sing
it was a rockabilly banjo
rockabilly banjo

i got myself a fine string
t’was missin’ one or two
so i fixed it up
the best that i could do
i played it night and day
in every kind of way
i was pickin’ pretty good you could say
i packed it up
didn’t get far
played for tips
in the mason jar
in the back of my head
that sound called out to me
high up on a ridge
i’ve been drinkin’ too much fizz
thinkin’ i was done
gonna call it quits
just thеn music filled the air
he was standin’ thеre
he said come sit down
we’re gonna play a bit
playin’ all the songs
that i sang so long ago
he shook my hand and said
i’m givin’ this to you
