Uncle Benny Lyrics - Artist : Roger Whittaker
Uncle Benny
Never had a penny Only had his old banjo Never had a job Never earned a bob Always free to come and go He played the banjo gaily, boys For anyone he'd meet Benny was a fellow who could Sweep girls off their feet He'd set their toes a-tapping with his songs Making friends who'd join him as he slowly strolled along There was Michael Flynn played violin While Clancy played the flute And Tommy McManis gave the old cornet a toot Uncle Benny Never had a penny Only had his old banjo Fat around the middle Always on the fiddle No one ever seemed to know In the clubs and the pubs around the town Up and down the street Benny was a fellow who could Sweep girls off their feet He'd set their toes a-tapping with his songs Making friends who'd join him as he slowly strolled along There was Jack McBass who played the bass While Danny played the drum And everyone watching would clap their hands and hum Uncle Benny Never had a penny Only had his old banjo Singing at the fair Silver in his hair Uncle Benny had to go He failed it on a high note In his final show And I never knew what happened to Benny's old banjo Uncle Benny Never had a penny Only had his own banjo Uncle Benny Never had a penny Only had his own banjo Uncle Benny... |
