- Man, Man, Is For The Woman Made*
Who's that comin' Who's that strummin' That's the man with the banjo For a penny he'll play any song That's happy and gay Folks all smile and stop awhile Because the man with the banjo Makes their troubles burst like bubbles chasing worries away See the children running after While he plays his merry song All their hearts are filled with laughter As they tag along Shadows fallin', sandman's callin' Here goes the man with the banjo Gaily strummin' softly strummin' On his merry old way
