Banjo and the Goblin Dance

[Verse] In the heart of the holler Where the cypress weeps With a full moon as witness And the night runs deep A banjo in my hand Johnny Walker in the flask Goblins in the shadows Now it’s time for the task [Verse 2] They crept from the thicket With their emerald eyes Whisperin' of mischief And tellin' dark lies But I stood my ground An outlaw with teeth Pluckin' silver strings Bringin' ‘em beneath [Chorus] Strum Strum Banjo sound Goblins fallin’ to the ground Play it wild Play it free Them goblins ain't got nothin' on me [Verse 3] Fingers like lightning Strings hum with fire Shreddin' through the midnight Swamp choir in a mire Goblin shrieks like a symphony of fright Lay ‘em down low Beneath cold starlight [Verse 4] Their claws met the echo of the notes that I played Rattlin' in shadows where the moon pathway laid Swamp and tune together Banjo wails like a ward Mistral winds bringin' peace With each echo’s chord [Bridge] So next time ya wander Near that cypress bend Listen for the banjo Where the goblins’ cry ends For in the dark of the night When trouble starts loom The music of the banjo’ll bring light to the gloom
