Santa Never Brings Me a Banjo

[Chorus]
Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
'Cause Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry

[Verse 1]
My brother got the train that he asked for
My sister even got a violin
How did he miss the one thing on my list
In the letter that I sent to him?
I told him how hard I would practice
Told him I would play so loud
That high lonesome sound would fill up the town
And I'd make my parents so proud

[Chorus]
But Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
'Cause Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry

[Verse 2]
I ask my parents if they know why
Santa always leaves me sad
I do well in school and I follow all the rules
And I don't think I've been bad
But maybe it's too much for the workshop
Maybe it's too tricky for the elves
Since I'll never understand I think I'm gonna plan
To buy one for myself

[Chorus]
'Cause Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
'Cause Santa never brings me a banjo
I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
