_______

 

From a little house in my neighborhood,

I heard a pretty tune that came thru the woods.

It sounded like a waltz from long long ago,

I strum the tune on my old-time banjo.

Picking and a strumming, I hear my banjo play,

Softly in the sunshine, I play it 'til the end of day.

Love that little tune that came thru the woods,

I heard it from a home in my neighborhood.

When strumming on the banjo, I sing and sway,

With my dog Benji, I'm picking away.
