[C]Poster's peeling underneath Last [G7]summer's morning glory [C]vine Old white hat and a stump o' cigar And an [G7]empty bottle o' wine
Lay me [C]down, Caro[F]lina, lay me [C]down Don't wanna wake up in the [F]morn[C]ing no [G7]more Sing me one [C]slow sad [C7] song for this one [F]last old [Dm]time Before they [G7] close the minstrel [C] show
Banjo's got a broken string Don't 'spect I'll get to fix it now There won't be no more chance to sing Well I'm rusty anyhow
Daddy Bones is dead, I guess You probably don't know or care Frank and Archie's gone away Somewhere, I don't know where
The money and the crowd ran out Before we left the last town This old show done played its round Run the curtain down
I don't know where we go from here Comes to that I just don't care Maybe we'll go to a better place And the minstrel show'll be there

Last [G7]summer's morning glory [C]vine
Old white hat and a stump o' cigar
And an [G7]empty bottle o' wine
Lay me [C]down, Caro[F]lina, lay me [C]down
Don't wanna wake up in the [F]morn[C]ing no [G7]more
Sing me one [C]slow sad [C7] song for this one [F]last old [Dm]time
Before they [G7] close the minstrel [C] show
Banjo's got a broken string
Don't 'spect I'll get to fix it now
There won't be no more chance to sing
Well I'm rusty anyhow
Daddy Bones is dead, I guess
You probably don't know or care
Frank and Archie's gone away
Somewhere, I don't know where
The money and the crowd ran out
Before we left the last town
This old show done played its round
Run the curtain down
I don't know where we go from here
Comes to that I just don't care
Maybe we'll go to a better place
And the minstrel show'll be there
