BANJO BILLY

I'm looking for a land flowing with milk and honey

But I sure don't see cows or bees

If you could be so kind as to point in the direction

I would be eternally pleased

Half Chorus

Banjo Billy's looking for a home

Banjo Billy's walking alone

I've been down almost every road

Up every mountain high

Don't put me back to the desert sand

And I've been through misfortune like nobody's had

Just show me the way back to my land

Chorus

Banjo Billy's looking for a home

Banjo Billy's walking alone

He's been searching for 4000 years

He'll go on 4000 more.

Sometimes I need a teacher, sometimes I need a guide

I am just like any other man

But I'm not looking for salvation to fall down from the sky

I just need a little helping hand

Half chorus

I don’t carry much with me

I like to travel light.

But I got my banjo for a friend

I could play from sunrise till the suns out of sight

I'll keep playing till my journeys end

Chorus

I don’t remember yesterday nor the day before

I usually lose all track of time

Some day I'll know what all this traveling's for

Soon as I see this land of mine

Chorus
