Banjo Frank's Music


Banjoman Blues

Well I'm rollin down the road and I'm carryin a heavy load
yeah I'm rollin down the road and I'm carryin a heavy load
and its a long long road
it's a long and lonesome road

Well I rambled and I roamed and I wound up out in old San Fran
to Portland Maine New York City now here I am in old San Fran
and this here's a long neck Vega 5-string boys
and they call me Banjoman

Well I heard someone sayin somethin bout some type of a long trip its been
yeah some old song or somethin somewhere some old type of a long trip its been
yeah well its fun or not
that all depends upon the mood I'm in

Well I'm rollin down the road and I'm carryin a heavy load...

Note: I think this was the first song I wrote in San Fran in the early 90's so it was the start of a pretty good song writing phase. I did a solo version with a couple other originals at the end of Bamjoman II. This version, with Mike on rhythm acoustic and me dubbing in a bass part led off the originals side of Banjoman III.
