《Cookie-tin Banjo》歌词

[00:00:00] My father has an old guitar and he plays me folk songs

[00:00:15] My father has an old guitar and he plays me folk songs

[00:00:21] There is nothing I want more than to play like him

[00:00:26] He goes to the basement and builds me a cookie-tin banjo

[00:00:31] He builds me a cookie-tin banjo the strings are made of rubber bands

[00:00:39] The strap is an old red neck tie

[00:00:41] The body is the big round lid of a metal cookie-tin

[00:00:46] When he plays his old guitar I play my cookie-tin banjo

[00:00:50] I play my cookie-tin banjo right along with him

[00:01:08] The more we play together

[00:01:09] The more I fall in love with music

[00:01:12] And I realize that my banjo is a toy that I've outgrown

[00:01:18] I want strings of steel and something new and something real

[00:01:22] So he gets me a guitar to call my own

[00:01:27] Then dad says to me on this fine afternoon

[00:01:32] Let's sit on the stairs I'll teach you a tune

[00:01:36] He hands me a pick one that's little and black

[00:01:41] He shows me the g chord I've never looked back

[00:01:45] Now buried somewhere in a closet is my cookie-tin banjo

[00:01:52] In my arms is my guitar my greatest source of joy

[00:01:57] For the life that I have now I'm grateful to my father

[00:02:03] He gave the gift of music to his boy

[00:02:08] It started with a simple homemade toy
