I plays de banjo better now
Dan him dat taught me to,
Because he plays for all de worl',
An' I jes' plays for you.
He learns his chunes - I jes' lets down
A banjo-string or two
Into de deepest of my heart,
An' draws up chunes for you
Slowly dey comes swingin' up,
A quiv'rin' through an' through,
Till wid a rush of tinglin' notes
Dey reaches light - an' you.
I never knows if dey will shine
Wet wid tears or dew;
I only know dat, dew or tears,
Dey shine because of you.
Dey shine because of you,
Of you.
