Steve Earle - Warren Hellman's Banjo lyrics
[Steve Earle - Warren Hellman's Banjo lyrics]
Standing on Jordan’s shore
And I ain't going to worry anymore
I'm standing on Jordan’s shore
Gonna lay my purse aside lay my purse aside
'Cause my money’s no good on the other side
Gonna lay my purse aside
Gonna carry my old banjo carry my old banjo
Because the devil won’t follow wherever I go
If I carry my old banjo
Gonna play that shady grove
Play that shady grove
Make my pallet down soft and low
Gonna play that shady grove
Gonna play that soldier’s joy
Play that soldier’s joy
Flop-eared mule and the red haired boy
Gonna play that soldier’s joy
Gonna bile them cabbage down
Bile them cabbage down
Because the devil surely cannot
Stand that sound
When I bile them cabbage down, boys
Gonna carry my old banjo carry my old banjo
From the mountain high to the valley low
If I carry my old banjo
Gonna carry my old banjo carry my old banjo
'Cause the devil won’t follow wherever I go
If I carry my old banjo
