I didn't think too much about books and schoolin'
Cause there are more important things to do I'd
just sit out in the yard and pick my ol' banjo
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do I would
sit there by the hour pickin' Wildwood Flower Wore
my little fingers to the bone I said I'll never
rest till I am the very best The best banjo picker
in this whole country
[banjo] I said someday I know I'll win my fame one day all
the world will know my name I'll work so very hard
with that ol' banjo tryin' to do what the big

to pick out Home Sweet Home While evrybody played
out in the yard I said I'll never stop till I've
reached the very top When I'm the best banjo
picker in this whole country
[banjo] Well the years have passed I haven't change my
mind I still pick the banjo all the time Because I
know someday I'm bound to learn to play all the
things the big hillbillies do I just sit here in
my shop pickin' Foggy Mountain Top tellin'
everybody help theirselves Cause before I go to
rest I'm gonna be the very best The best banjo
picker in this whole country (I'm gonna learn how
to play this thing I'm gonna play the banjo just
like Sonny Osborne yes sir Sonny I'm gonna learn)
