Banjo Blues

[Verse 1: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
Got the banjo blues and I'm feeling awful
Plain awful, I mean bad
Got the banjo blues and I'm feeling awful bad
And the blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad

[Verse 2: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
Had a good woman but the fool laid down and
I mean down and, I mean down and
Had a good woman but the fool laid down and died
Got the banjo blues, and i'm too damn mean to cry

[Spoken, Peg Leg Howell]
Play it a long time, boy!
To my gals in Cincinnati

[Spoken, Eddie Anthony]
She's all right with me!

[Verse 3: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
Well give me some cover
Honey I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm cold (getting)
Give me some cover, I'm getting cold
And the breeze ain't hitting you, you're only getting old

[Verse 4: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
And the Mississippi river it's a'long and deep and
I mean deep and, I mean wide and
And the Mississippi river, it's a'long and a'deep and wide!
And my gal, she's on the Arkansas side!

[Spoken, Peg Leg Howell]
Do it for me, boy!

[Verse 5: Peg Leg Howell & Eddie Anthony]
And my little baby, she's so tall and
I mean tall and, I mean thin
My honey baby, she's so tall and thin!
Likes the town's top preacher, but she loves her gin

[Outro: Eddie Anthony]
Banjo Blues!
