Verse:

Ban -jo Land land of har -mo -ny, Ban -jo Land land of mel -o -dy

When the cot -ton pick -ing's o'er Mu -sic fills the air:

Ban -jo Land home of fun -ny tunes Ban -jo Land land of sun -ny tunes

When the moon is in the sky Ban -jos ev -'ry where.

 

Chorus:

Down In Ban -jo Land down In Ban -jo Land Ev -'ry bod -y's got a ban -jo in his hand

Mel -o -dies g -lore, 'Round the cab -in door

South -ern folks pick -in' ban -jo strokes, Mu -sic some -thing grand

Mam -my, she's a hum -min' Boys are all a strum -min' In the ev -'ning by the moon -light,

In Ban -jo Land.
