A banjo player, even with a limited knowledge of chords,is in the enviable position to be able to lead informalsing-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 understandthe joy that it creates for the audience and for the performer.

A Bicycle Built For Two (Daisy Bell) Dai-sy, Dai-sy, Give me your an-swer do!I'm half cra-zy, All for the love of you!It won't be a styl-ish mar-riage,I can't af-ford a car-riageBut you'll look sweet up-on the seatOf a bi-cycle made for two.(Daisy's Reply)Hen-ry, Hen-ry, This is my an-swer true.I'm not craz-y over the likes of you.If you can't af-ford a car-riage,For-get about the mar-rage;I won't be jammed, I won't be crammedOn a bi-cycle built for two!

Af-ter I'm gone, af-ter we break up,Af-ter I'm gone you're gon-na wake up;You will find you were blindTo let some-bod-y come and change your mindAf-ter the years we've been to-geth-er,Through joy and tears, all kinds of weath-er,Some-day blue and down-heart-ed,You'll long to be with me right back where you start-ed,Af-ter I'm gone, af-ter I'm gone a-way.

April ShowersThough A-pril show-ers may come your way,They bring the flow-ers that bloom in May,So if it's rain-ing, have no re-grets,Be-cause it isn't rain-ing rain, you know,It's rain-ing vi-o-lets.And where you see clouds upon the hills,You soon will see crowds of daf-fo-dils.So keep on look-ing for a blue bird,And list'ning for his song,When-ev-er A-pril show-ers come a-long.

At SundownEvery little breeze is sigh-ing of love un-dy-ing at sun-down,Every little bird is rest-ing and feath-er nest-ing at sun-down.Each lit-tle rose-bud is sleep-ing,While sha-dows are creep-ing,

Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out The Barrel)There's a gar-den, what a gar-den,Only hap-py fa-ces bloom there,And there's nev-er an-y room thereFor a wor-ry or a gloom there.Oh, there's mu-sic and there's dan-cing,And a lot of sweet ro-man-cing; When they play the pol-ka, They all get in the swing.Ev'-ry time they hear that oom-pa-pa,Ev'-ry-bod-y feels so tra-la-la,They want to throw their cares a-way,They all go lah-de-ah-de-ay.Then they hear a rum-ble on the floor, It's the big sur-prise they're wait-ing for. And all the cou-ples form a ring,And for miles a-round you'll hear them sing.Refrain:Roll out the bar-rel, we'll have a bar-rel of fun;Roll out the bar-rel, we've got the blues on the run.Zing boom ta-rar-rel, ring out a song of good cheer;Now's the time to roll the bar-rel, For the gang's all here.

Blue Skies Blue skies smil-ing at me,Noth-ing but blue skies do I see.Blue-birds sing-in' a song, Noth-ing but blue birds all day long.

Bridge:Nev-er saw the sun shin-ing so bright, Nev-er saw things going so right.No-tic-ing the days hur-ry-ing by, When you're in love, my, my, how they fly.Blue days, all of them gone --Noth-ing but blue skies from now on.

I stopped her and we had a talk,Had a talk, had a talk,Her feet took up the whole side-walkAnd left no room for me. Chorus:

I asked her if she'd have a dance,Have a dance, have a dance,I thought that I might have a chanceTo shake a foot with her.Chorus:

I danced with a gal with a hole in her stock-in',And her heel kept a-knockin', and her toes kept a-rockin'I danced with a gal with a hole in her stock-in'And we danced by the light of the moon.Chorus:

California Here I ComeCal-i-for-nia, here I comeRight back where I start-ed from.Where bow-ers of flow-ers bloom in the sun.Each morn-ing at dawn-ing,Bird-ies sing an' ev-'ry-thing.A sun-kist miss said, "Don't be late"That's why I can hard-ly wait.O-pen up that Gold-en Gate,Cal-i-for-nia here I come.

To Tif-fan-y's I took her; I did not mind ex-pense.I bought her two gold ear-rings, They cost me fif-teen cents.

Chorus:

She said, "If you're a sail-or, Now take me home you may,"But when I reached her cot-tage door She un-to me did say:

Chorus:

"My young man he's a sail-or, With his hair cut short be-hind;My young man he's a sail-or, And he sails the Black Ball line."

Near YouThere's just one place for me, near you.It's like heav-en to be, near you.Times when we're a-part,I can't face my heart.Say you'll nev-er stray,More than just two lips a-way.

If my hours could be spent near you.I'd be more than con-tent near you.Make my life worth-while,By tel-ling me that I'll,Spend the rest of my days near you.Yes, the rest of my days near you.

YearningThe song bird yearns to sing a love song, The ros-es yearns just for the dew.The whole world's yearn-ing for the sun-shine,I have a yearn-ing too.

Chorus:Yearn-ing just for you, that's all I do, my dear.Learn-ing why I'm blue, I wish that you were here.Smiles have turned to tears, days have turned to years.Yearn-ing just for you, that's all I do, my dear.

When sha-dows fall and stars are beam-ing,'tis then I miss you most of all.I go to sleep and start in dream-ing,It seems I hear you call.

Chorus:Yearn-ing just for you, that's all I do, my dear.Learn-ing why I'm blue, I wish that you were here.Smiles have turned to tears, days have turned to years.Yearn-ing just for you, I hope you're yearn-ing too.

Yes Sir, That's My BabyRefrain:Yes sir, that's my ba-by, no sir, don't mean may-be,Yes sir, that's my ba-by now.Yes Ma'am, we've de-cid-ed, no Ma'am, we won't hide it,Yes Ma'am you're in-vi-ted nowBridge:By the way, by the way,When we reach the preach-er I'll say.Yes sir, that's my ba-by, no sir, don't mean may-be,Yes sir, that's my ba-by now.

You Are My SunshineThe oth-er night dear, as I lay sleep-ingI dreamed I held you in my armsWhen I a-woke, dear, I was mis-tak-enSo I hung my head and cried.

Chorus:You are my sun-shine, my on-ly sun-shineYou make me hap-py when skies are grayYou'll nev-er know dear, how much I love youPlease don't take my sun-shine a-way.

I'll al-ways love you and make you hap-py,If you will on-ly say the same.But if you leave me to love an-oth-er,You'll re-gret it all some day:

Chorus:

You told me once dear you real-ly loved meAnd no one else could come be-tween.But now you've left me and love an-oth-er;You have shat-tered all of my dreams:

Chorus:

You’re A Grand Old FlagYou're a grand old flag, you're a high fly-ing flag;And for-ev-er, in peace, may you wave.You're the em-blem of the land I love,The home of the free and the brave.Ev-er-y heart beats true, for the Red,White,and Blue,Where there's nev-er a boast or brag;But, should auld ac-quain-tance be for-got,Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Your Cheating HeartYour cheat-in' heart will make you weep;You'll cry and cry and try to sleep,But sleep won't come the whole night through --Your cheat-in' heart will tell on you.

When tears come down like fal-lin' rain,You'll toss a-round and call my name. You'll walk the floor the way I do --Your cheat-in' heart will tell on you.

Your cheat-in' heart will pine some day;And crave the love you threw a-way;The time will come when you'll be blue --Your cheat-in' heart will tell on you.

When tears come down like fal-lin' rain,You'll toss a-round and call my name.You'll walk the floor the way I do --Your cheat-in' heart will tell on you.
