Lyrics:
Hallelujah! That’s not Gabriel’s horn, no!
Hallelujah! That’s how music was born, yeah!
Feel that shufflin’, feet are scufflin’
No one feelin’ forelorn, no!
When I was a kid down in Dixie
We had many a jubilee
The banjos were strummin’ in Dixie
And the music did somethin’ to me
Mister Banjo Man
You were everybody’s music man
Every evenin’ you would pick on a string
And fellas would sing
As they came a-toddlin’ by
They would sing to me...
“Who’s the prettiest, who’s the wittiest
Cutest gal in this town?”
Why, it’s Adeline, Caroline, Eveline or Emeline
Melody “Marry Me” Brown
Yes, yes, it’s Adeline, Caroline, Eveline or Emeline
Melody “Marry Me” Brown
Mister Banjo Man
You were everybody’s music man
Every time I heard your wonderful beat
It went to my feet
You could see me dancin’ by
Cakewalk your baby
Cakewalk your gal
Sweet talk your baby
Wave to your pal
You’ll do some fancy kickin’
And then you’ll dine of chicken
It’s good for your morale
It’s time to cakewalk with Mandy
Miss Birmingham
She’s sweet as candy, tasty as jam
You’ll be the biggest thing in Alabam
Mister, don’t count your money
Quick like a bunny
Cakewalk your honey lamb
