43 Don't tell that "The Banjo's" dead - oh yes I've heard the tale, But "Banjo" isn't dead at all, he's caught the Western mail. He has a lot of friends, you know, among the western men. He wants to look into their eyes and grip their hands again; He longs to spend some quiet nights beneath the western stars, And hear the evening breeze again among the green belars. So if they tell you "Banjo's" dead just say that it's a lie: He comes from where they bred 'em tough and "Banjo" will not die.
