Lyrics

I own me one Kentucky banjo
I owns me one Kentucky banjo
Barefoot Sally taught me how,
to sing my song while I milk the cow

I own me one Kentucky banjo

I play Kentucky banjo to my girl
I plays Kentucky banjo to my girl
I played that song until she said,
“Muskrats live in this here shed.”

I own me one Kentucky banjo

I play high and lonesome all night,
I play high and lonesome all night
I play that chord till the break of day,
then I fall asleep in a foot of hay

I own me one Kentucky banjo
