Who's that com -ing? Who's that strum -ming? That's The Man With The Ban -jo.

For a pen -ny, he'll play an -y song that's hap -py and gay.

Folks all smile and stop a while, be -cause The Man With The Ban -jo

makes their troub -les, burst like bub -les chas -ing wor -ries a way.

See the child -ren run -ning af -ter, while he plays his mer -ry song.

All their hearts are filled with laugh -ter, as they tag a long.

Shad -ows fall -ing, Sand -man's call -ing. There goes The Man With The Ban -jo,

Gai -ly hum -ming, soft -ly strum -ming, on his mer -ry old way.
