Got no use for your old banjo
Got no use for a banjo man
Got no use for your old banjo
It only plays sad songs
Got no use for your old fiddle
Got no use for a mandolin
Got no use for your old fiddle
We've lost the melody
Got no use for your old guitar
Got no use for a guitar man
Got no use for your old guitar
It only plays the blues
Got no use for the song your singing
Got no use for the song you sing
Got no use for the song your singing
I can't find the harmony
Got no use for your old banjo
Got no use for a banjo man
Got no use for your old banjo
It only plays sad songs
It only plays the blues
We've lost the melody
Can't find the harmony

Chorus
Same old man living at the mill
Mill turns around of its own free will
One hand in the hopper and the other in the sack
Ladies step forward and the gents fall back
1. Down flew the owl with her head all white
Lonesome day and lonesome night
Thought I heard some pretty girl say
Court all night and sleep all day
2. Oh said the raven as she flew
If I were a young man I'd have two
One got saucy and one could go
I'd have a new string for my bow
3. My old man's from Kalamazoo
He don't say no yes I do
First to the left and then to the right
This old mill grinds day and night

I ain't got no use for your red rocking chair
Ain't got no honey baby now
Ain't got no sugar baby now
I've done all I can do
Said all I can say
Gonna send you to your mama next payday
Who'll rock the cradle
Who'll sing the song
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone ?
I'll rock the cradle
I'll sing the song
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone
I've done all I can do
Said all I can say
I just won't be treated
This a way

Found your videos by chance on YouTube a few weeks ago, and haven’t been able to stop listening ever since. If this isn’t motivation to be a better banjo player I don’t know what is!! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world and maybe one day when I don’t suck at banjo we can collab lol
