Banjo
©2016 Robert Randall Burke


When I took up this banjo
I was just a boy
The other fellas laughed at me
To bring along a toy
But I had some room
So I stuck it in my pack.

After every battle
The boys would gather round
And listen to a mountain tune
That high and lonesome sound
And say a quiet prayer
For the ones ain't comin' back.

They said...
“Play that banjo loud, boy
And we'll give a Rebel Yell
Let them Yankees think
We're demons
Comin' straight from hell
We'll be livin' short
But we'll be dyin' well
To this old banjo playing Dixie.


This old banjo tells a story
Of good men come and gone
The spirit of survivors
Who just keep pushin' on
Through the smoke and fire
To see their Maker's face.

It took a miniball at Shiloh
I patched it with some tar
Never thought that this old thing
Would ever get this far
But it lasted long enough
For the two old men
To shake hands.


They said...
“Play that banjo loud, boy
And we'll give a Rebel Yell
Let them Yankees think
We're demons
Comin' straight from hell
We'll be livin' short
But we'll be dyin' well
To this old banjo playing Dixie.


When I took up this banjo
I was just a boy
The other fellas laughed at me
To bring along a toy
But I had some room
So I stuck it in my pack
I had a little room
So I stuck it in my pack.


Thanks for watching.

Regards,

Bob

Excellent production Bob. I listened to it twice (laptop speakers and USB headphones) and the song sounded very polished over both speaker systems.

I see... we have to come over to the movies to hear your new songs...

The banjo opening is spectacular! That has never occurred to me - you pieced that together well!!!

The write is solid - as all of yours are. I'll send it back at ya - Tight! Not a wasted word! Excellent.

The arrangement is perfect - the build is smooth. The return to sparse, perfectly done.

Worth many listens. Each a delight.

Bob,
This pulls me in and takes me to that place and time.
I'll echo FJ - not a wasted word.
And I always love your arrangements and vocals.
Enjoyed this very much.

fj,


Thanks for the kind words. It's kind of long, but with the historical stuff I think you can take some liberties.

"Paddle faster - I hear banjos!" shocked

Hello Bob,

I'm a Banjo fan and really enjoyed this tune. I'm also a big Mark Knopfler fan and this tunes has a similar feel to some tunes off of his Sailing to Philadelphia album. I'm going to hit repeat and listen again. smile
