letra de daddy played the banjo - steve martin
daddy played the banjo, ‘neath the yellow tree,
it rang across the backyard, an old time melody,
i loved to hear the music, i was only five,
i listened as his fingers made the banjo come alive.
sometimes i’d wake up at night, and hear a distant tune,
the banjo would echo, ‘round my childhood room,
i’d sneak down the back stairs, daddy never knew.
i’d grab a broom and make believe, i was pickin’, too.
one day daddy put my fingers down upon his fist,
he picked it with his other hand, we made the banjo ring;
now the music takes me back, cross the yellow day,
soon the summer’s with my dad, and the tunes he made.
but i’m just tellin’ lyes ‘bout the things i did,
see i’m that banjo player who never had a kid,
now, i sit, beneath that yellow tree,
hopin’ that a kid somewhere, is listening to me.
daddy played the banjo, ‘neath the yellow tree,
it rang across the backyard and wove a spell on me,
now the banjo takes me back, through the foggy haze,
with memories of what never was, become the good old days.
