Papa's Ol' Banjo Lyrics

She came from Rangiora

My God if you just saw her

Go Man Go

She'd sit and play, on the porch all day

Plucking on her Papa's ol' banjo

Lucy where's your man I don't understand

I'll come fix your car but I don't wanna go too far

Bobby Joe sure could treat her

A few drinks then he'd beat her

The bruises always showed

So she stayed away from the town and played

Strumming on her Papa's ol banjo

Lucy where's your man I don't understand

Why do you stay Don't you wanna fly away

Lucy says she's feeling better

Looks the best since I met her

See her cheeks they glow

Rumours in town, say something's going down

Because nobody's seen Bobby Joe

Lucy where's your man I don't understand

Weeks now he's been gone I think something's wrong

Lucy they've found a fresh dug mound

In the valley down below

But Lucy doesn't care she just sits and stares

Picking on her Papa's ol' banjo

Lucy where's your man I think I understand

If you give your girl a smack one day they might hit back
