Flatt & Scruggs – Polka On A Banjo (Guitar)

C
There's a sweet young Miss, I love to kiss,

C                          G7
but listen close and hear me

G7
She's not my only love, I have another love,

G7                       C
and she'll just have to share me

C
But she's five foot tall, high heel and all,

C               F
she already knows

F                         C
She had some competition, in a composition,

         G7                  C    F  C
known as polka on an old banjo

F                                          C
Polka on a banjo, make that five string hot

C                                       F
Polka on a banjo, give it all you've got

F                                    Bb
Polka on a banjo, watch them fingers go

Bb                             F
Of all the songs I guess, the one that I love best

      C                       F      G
Is the polka on an old banjo

C
And when they start the band,

C                                                G
she takes me by the hand, and I begin to swing her

G
She knows I never miss, a chance to steal a kiss,

G                       C
or dance the polka with her

C
I don't speak a word ,

C                                       F
once I have heard, the one thing I love so

F
She's caught in the middle,

    C
she played the second fiddle,

     G            C         F   C
to a polka on an old banjo
