Banjo Man

by Hannes Wader

on Old Friends In Concert (Live) (2013)

Cowboy hat, cowboy boots
Denim jacket full of Mexican cheroots

How that man can sing
"I've got trouble on my mind"
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine

He came to Paris from Portland Town
Carrying a banjo, playing around

How that man can sing
"I've got trouble on my mind"
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine

Too much whisky, too much wine
Too much travelling down the line

How that man can sing
"I've got trouble on my mind"
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine

Heading down that one-way track
Carrying the devil on his back

How that man can sing
"I've got trouble on my mind"
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine

He's got a lady, so sweet and kind
And he's OK now and doing fine

How that man can sing
"I've got trouble on my mind"
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine

Cowboy hat, cowboy boots
Denim jacket full of Mexican cheroots

How that man can sing
"I've got trouble on my mind"
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
