[E] [A] [D] [A]
I drove a little banjo [D] picker up from [A] Alabama, where I used to hold the cotton [E] and the cane.
[A] Well, the old folks, they will [C#] miss me [D] when they shout for [A] banjo stand, cause I'm not going [E] to live with [A] them again.
Well, [D] I left them in the night [A] when the moon was shining bright, I stuck out with the [C#m] banjo in my [E] hand.
Well, [A] I left my only brother and [D] my dear old [A] aged mother, and I run away [E] to join this [A] little band.
[D] [A]
[E] [A] [D] [A]
Well, I picked and sang both night and day, [D] I'm a-workin' [A] mighty hard, I'm makin' all the money that [E] I can.
[A] When I return to my old home, [D] I'll sure go back [A] in style, the old folks will [E] be proud of Banjo [A] Sam.
Well, [D] I'm a-savin' every cent, [A] exceptin' what I go and spend, cause I'm a-goin' back to see them all [E] again.
To [A] see my only brother and [D] my dear old [A] aged mother, they'll say, Welcome [E] home, little [A] Banjo Sam.

Now, the cabin which I lived in [D] was sittin' on [A] a hill, and the mockingbird was singin' on [E] the tree.
[A] I'll build myself a mansion in [D] that spot that [A] I love well, and let mother and [E] my brother [A] live with me.
[D] Well, when the day is o'er, [A] we will gather round the door of that mansion, all the [E] kinfolks and the jams.
[A] Well, we'll keep the banjo ringin', [D] we'll be pickin' [A] and a-singin', they'll be proud [E] of their little [A] Banjo Sam.
