Lyrics for Banjo

There's something that I'm watching Means a lot to me There's something that I'm watching Means a lot to me It's a broken benjo bobbing On the dark infested sea It's a broken benjo bobbing On the dark infested sea Don't know how it got there Maybe taken by the wave Don't know how it got there Probably taken by the wave Of the someones shoulder Or out of someones grave Of the someones shoulder Or of the someones grave It's coming for me, darling No matter where I go It's coming for me darling No matter where I go Its duty is to harm me My duty is to know Its duty is to harm me My duty is to know There's something that I'm watching Means a lot to me There's something that I'm watching Means a lot to me It's a broken benjo bobbing On the dark infested sea It's a broken benjo bobbing On the dark infested sea
