I lost my fortune long ago
All I have is my old banjo
But my voice is true and my arms are strong
I will win your heart with just a song
With my old banjo
I’ve faced hell and heroes and kings
Till I can’t tell my fingers from its strings
I will wait outside your window
I will play for you on my old banjo
And the shadows will fall and the wind will blow
But I’ll wait for you barefoot in snow
I lost my fortune long ago
All I have is my old banjo
And the dream of you and a love so strong
That I will win your heart with just a song
