Bluegrass Godfather

[Verse] There once was a man known far and wide No one could beat his banjo stride (banjo stride) With strings in his hand and iron in the other He's the godfather, the bluegrass brother [Verse 2] Don't let his tunes mislead His melodies will fill the air, with fiery greed (fiery greed) From the hills of Kentucky to the Tennessee plains His music echoes, ringing in our veins [Chorus] Oh, the godfather, the bluegrass brother With his banjo, may his music never falter From dawn till dusk, his tunes never miss He's the one and only, the bluegrass defaulter! [Banjo solo] [Verse] The godfather pulled his iron But it was never needed As the sheriff stumbled He was already defeated With every strum and pluck The music became a theme The bluegrass melodies were the sheriff's final dream [Chorus] Oh, the godfather, the bluegrass brother With his banjo, may his music never falter From dawn till dusk, his tunes never miss He's the one and only, the bluegrass defaulter! He's the one and only, the bluegrass defaulter! [end]
