Best Banjo Picker — текст песни (Charley Pride)

I didn`t think too much about books and schoolin`
Cause there are more important things to do
I`d just sit out in the yard and pick my ol` banjo
Tryin` to do what the big hillbillies do
I would sit there by the hour pickin` Wildwood Flower
Wore my little fingers to the bone
I said I`ll never rest till I am the very best
The best banjo picker in this whole country
[ banjo ]
I said someday I know I`ll win my fame one day all the world will know my name
I`ll work so very hard with that ol` banjo tryin` to do what the big hillbillies do
I would sit there all alone tryin` to pick out Home Sweet Home
While evrybody played out in the yard
I said I`ll never stop till I`ve reached the very top
When I`m the best banjo picker in this whole country
[ banjo ]
Well the years have passed I haven`t change my mind I still pick the banjo all the time
Because I know someday I`m bound to learn to play all the things the big hillbillies do
I just sit here in my shop pickin` Foggy Mountain Top tellin` everybody help theirselves
Cause before I go to rest I`m gonna be the very best
The best banjo picker in this whole country
(I`m gonna learn how to play this thing
I`m gonna play the banjo just like Sonny Osborne yes sir Sonny I`m gonna learn)
