One Moonlight Night!

Banjo/Accordion intro

   Dm                              BbOne moonlight night in the bayou a silhouette
    F                       CThe air was sweet and the fog was vi-o-let
    Dm                                      BbThe gators were all drinking tea, in a dreamy pantsless glee
    F                           CI saw a suspendered man, a banjo holstered in his hands.
    Dm                                                 Bb               He had biggest red suspenders I ever did see, golly gee that's what I've seen
    F                                           CHe flicked the brim of his hat, and this is what he said to me.

    Dm                       Bb"Mister robot ah am The Suspender Man
    F                         CAnd dis banjo 'as shown me dah promised land.
    Dm                                     BbNow ah play a song but in return, yoo put dat shiny coin right 'ere in mah urn.
    F                                       CAnd ah play yoo sumfin fine. Mah music gonna blow yo mind!"

    Dm                                       Gm So I flicked my coin into his pot, I gotta admit it twasn't a lot
                  Dm               Two cents and then his fingers wriggled,
                  Che plucked those strings and belched a giggle.
                  DmHe tapped his foot, howled like a hound
     Gm                  DmIgniting up the unholy sound.

                         DmAnd I ain't never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never,
                         Am7never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never,
                         C                             Dmnever, never, never, never, never, heard anything so great.

     DmCall the vendors.
     BbBig Suspenders.
     F                   C         DmThat's what everybody wants to wear.
     DmThey stretch to Nantucket.
     BbPut them in a bucket
     F                        C              DmAnd send them to the gnome trapped down the well
            Dm(Tug 'em with thumbs is ideal)
            Dm(While rollin' back on your heels)
  
  Dm (Let ring)
(Yeah)

He played the two cent show

            DmAnd just like that he stopped playing
            BbMy jaw dropped to the floor.
            FHe cracked his neck and smiled at me, And said,
            C                "Buddy, y'gotta pay for more!"

            DmBut by then a crowd had swarmed the swamp,
            Bbtossin' coin in after coin.
            Dm                          DmSo he cleared his throat, and his fingers writhed,
            Bb                         Dmand everyone shouted for Suspender Guy.

       DmCall the vendors
       BbBig Suspenders
       F                  C               Dm         That's what grandma wants for her birthday
       DmThey're bright red and awesome
       BbEven worn by opossums
       F                  C           DmNobody wants their pants to fall down
        
       Dm(Ma and Pappy want 'em too)
       Dm(Even the ghost of your Uncle Stu)
  
  Dm(let Ring)(Yeah)

He played the two cent show


Fracture dat banjo!

(Under Banjo Solo)

Dm, Bb, F, C x4


          DmAll the children sing and dance
          BbThose banjo sounds instill a trance
          DmBy 4 AM the press what hot
          CSuspender Man on the front page spot
          DmSuspenders were in and spats were out
          BbThe girls all suffered from fainting bouts
          DmThe banjos flew off the shelves
          Bb            FSprouting wings with dreams
          C             Dmof being played by Suspender Man.

          DmBut in the middle of February
          Bbthe fog turned a crimson red
          FThe Suspender Man disappeared,
          C              Dmeveryone was heels over head
          Dm                  But we found his suspenders and that old banjo
          Bbsittin' right here on his log

         DmAnd though he's gone,
         Dmthat's what he gets
         C                  Dmfor selling his soul to the bog

     DmBig Suspenders
     BbPut them in a blender
     F                      C             DmThree bat teeth and a blackened gypsy eye
     DmBring it to a boil
     BbRelease your mortal coil
     F                     C          DmOut pops a belt to wear for you and me-
    Dm                 C          DmNobody wants their pants to fall down-
   Dm                  C                   DmYou could wear a dress and then...you'd have no need
            
          Dm(The alligators had it right)
          Dm(Wearing pants it sure does bite)
 
  Dm (let ring)
(Yeah)

                         DmHe played the two cent show......
