Warren Hellman's Banjo

I’m standin’ on Jordan’s shore

Standin’ on Jordan’s shore

And I ain’t gonna worry anymore

‘Cause I’m standin’ 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 ol’ banjo

Carry my ol’ banjo

‘Cause the devil won’t follow wherever I go

If I carry my ol’ 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

‘Cause the devil surely cannot stand that sound

When I bile them cabbage down

Gonna carry my ol’ banjo

Carry my ol’ banjo

From the mountain high to the valley low

Gonna carry my ol’ banjo

Gonna carry my ol’ banjo

Carry my ol’ banjo

‘Cause the devil won’t follow wherever I go

If I carry my ol’ banjo
