Banjo Bill’s

Sing - Along

Sing - Along Party

A banjo player, even with a limited knowledge of chords,

is in the enviable position to be able to lead informal

sing-a-longs in retirement homes, rest homes and hospitals, etc.

The pleasure, joy and healing atmosphere that is created

with this kind of a function is hard to describe.

It needs to be experienced and only then will one understand

the joy that it creates for the audience and for the performer.

As I was wal - king down the street,

I stopped her and we had a talk,

I asked her if she'd have a dance,

I danced with a gal with a hole in her stock- in',

Had a talk, had a talk,

Have a dance, have a dance,

And her heel kept a-knockin', and her toes kept a-rockin'.

Her feet took up the whole side-walk

I thought that I might have a chance

I danced with a gal with a hole in her stock- in'

Oh, she was fair to see.

And left no room for me.

To shake a foot with her.

And we danced by the light of the moon.

Mary’s A Grand Old Name |24A| F Dº Gm7 C7 F Dº Gm7 C7

My moth-er's name was Mar- y, She was so good and true;

Now, when her name is Mar- y, There is no false-ness there;

Be-cause her name was Mar- y, She called me Mar - y, too.

When to Ma- rie she'll var- y, She'll sure-ly bleach her hair.

Though Mar-y's or- din– ar - y, Mar - ie is fair to see;

I hate to meet a fair- y, Who calls her-self Ma-rie.

Don't ev- er fear sweet Mar- y, Be - ware of sweet Ma-rie.
