Blame it on the Banjo's 2 songs by Anno Nymus



Blame it on the Banjos

Banjo from the mountains
banjo from the city
make a big racket
but they sure sound pretty !

Tater bug mando's – and fiddles so bold
hollers and yells – ancient riddles re-told
ballads of truth - and stories of old
all riches greater than any silver or gold

* * *

Honky Tonks 'n Saturday Nights

Honky Tonk brawls 'n Saturday Nights
go to church Sunday – to set things right
Your good suit on – as you go to meetin'
'cause the tonk makes you foolish
But the church gives it meaning !

you end scuffed up
and just a little heart-broke
all your dough has gone up
in the proverbial smoke
one step forward – 2 steps back - bit ...
by that “black dog” freight
train - coming at you ...
down the same ol' tracks

* * *

Motoring

The blustery and windy road
short and winding along it's way
the powerful smell of new mown hay
the pungent aroma of orange 
blossoms so fragrant and special
and vistas unfolding all along the way

chorus
Motoring Motoring
Flying in the wind
Motoring Motoring
Driving in the rain
Motoring Motoring
Rubber wheels rolling on
take me from here

and let me - roll me - and move me - on down the line
