Uncle Benny

Never had a penny

Only had his old banjo

Never had a job

Never earned a bob

Always free to come and go

He played the banjo gaily boys

For anyone he'd meet

Benny was a fellow who could

Sweep girls off their feet

He'd set their toes a-tapping with his songs

Making friends who'd join him

As he slowly strolled along

There was Michael Flynn played violin

While Clancy played the flute

And Tommy McManis gave the old cornet a toot

Uncle Benny

Never had a penny

Only had his old banjo

Fat around the middle

Always on the fiddle

No one ever seemed to know

In the clubs and the pubs around the town

Up and down the street

Benny was a fellow who could

Sweep girls off their feet

He'd set their toes a-tapping with his songs

Making friends who'd join him

As he slowly strolled along

There was Jack McBass who played the bass

While Danny played the drum

And everybody watching

Would clap their hands and hum

Uncle Benny

Never had a penny

Only had his old banjo

Singing at the fair

Silver in his hair

Uncle Benny had to go

He failed it on a high note

In his final show

And I never knew what happened to

Benny's old banjo

Uncle Benny

Never had a penny

Only had his old banjo

Uncle Benny

Never had a penny

Only had his old banjo

Uncle Benny
