I’ve got a thing about a 5 string
Lord I love that music Lord I love to hear that banjo ring
Rocky Top Rollin’ In My Sweet Baby’s Arms and Mountain Dew
The music of the blue hill special
And a little bit of Foggy Mountain Breakdown too
I’ve got a thing about a 5 string

When I was just a little boy down in Carolina many years ago
I’d wake every morning to that hillbilly music on my radio
Lord I love those guitars and banjos that ends with the pickers
Playing Cotton Eyed Joe
When my little ears would perk up
When Snuffy Jenkins would pick up his banjo

I’ve got a thing (I’ve got a thing) about a 5 string
Lord I love that music Lord I love to hear that banjo ring
Rocky Top Rollin’ In My Sweet Baby’s Arms and Mountain Dew
(Rollin’ in my sweet baby’s arms)
The music of the blue hill special
And a little bit of Foggy Mountain Breakdown too
I’ve got a thing about a 5 string

I’ve got a thing about a 5 string
Lord I love that music Lord I love to hear that banjo ring
Rocky Top Rollin’ In My Sweet Baby’s Arms and Mountain Dew
(I wish I was on Old Rocky Top)
The music of the blue hill special
And a little bit of Foggy Mountain Breakdown too
I’ve got a thing about a 5 string
