Old Banjo Lyrics by HGH (Norway)

Pignoise

1999

[Intro]
Who broke the back on my old banjo
The one I've owned for fifteen years?
I vaguely remember, we were playing
Drinking whiskey, laughing to tears
[Chorus: Martin Hagfors and Lars Håvard Haugen]
'Cause I had a dopo
I had a guitar
I had a night all on my knee
Count the glasses that you'll see
For that takes one more than three
[Verse]
Who opened the door for one
Old acquaintance late last night?
Who started a picker's goo
That went south and ended in a fight?
[Chorus: Martin Hagfors and Lars Håvard Haugen]
'Cause I had a dopo
I had a guitar
I had a night all on my knee
Count the glasses that you'll see
For that takes one more than three
[Verse]
On the table lies a corn cob
Dwindling to a simplе pipe
And here it stands of rеddish beard
All keyed up the early tide
[Chorus: Martin Hagfors and Lars Håvard Haugen]
'Cause I had a dopo
I had a guitar
I had a night all on my knee
Count the glasses that you'll see
For that takes one more than three
[Verse 3: Martin Hagfors and Lars Håvard Haugen]
I think it might have been your father
He's been dead for fifteen years
And all he left was his old banjo
That I stored under the stairs
[Verse]
So if you ever come across
A picker with a heavy old pipe
Tell him that he ownes some glues
Tell him I'll be out tonight
[Chorus: Martin Hagfors and Lars Håvard Haugen]
'Cause I had a dopo
I had a guitar
I had a night all on my knee
Count the glasses that you'll see
For that takes one more than three
