Paul Robeson - The Banjo Song lyrics

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.
