lyrics

Eddie Banjo tramping in the rain
Eddie Banjo picking on a biscuit tin
Who’s good for a handout
Where’s good for a feed
Who’s good for a hard luck story
Where’s good for a sleep

Eddie Banjo

Eddie Banjo came back from the war
Eddie Banjo not the same man any more
Stick along the railings just like machine gun fire
All the children laugh out loud
When they see him dive

Eddie Banjo

Eddie Banjo gentleman of the road
Eddie Banjo knocks on the back door
He knows where all the good folks are
There he leaves a sign
They only ever heard one song
He played it all the time

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Eddie Banjo
