Lyrics Changi Banjo (Remastered) - Lee Kernaghan
Well
the
old
man
died
in
the
summer
when
the
grass
was
dry
and
brown,
The
long
hard
road
he'd
travelled
had
finally
reached
the
end,
He
was
out
on
the
veranda
writing
letters
to
his
daughters,
When
he
heard
the
curlew
calling
and
he
just
put
down
his
pen.
Well
he
did
two
years
in
Changi
in
the
big
Pacific
War,
He'd
been
to
hell
and
back
again
somehow
came
though
it
all,
His
most
prized
possession
was
the
banjo
that
he
made,
As
he
built
it
all
around
him
he
watched
his
comrades
fall.
He'd
play
the
Changi
bango
made
of
tin,
The
bridge
piece
was
the
Rising
Sun
from
off
his
slouch
hat
brim,
Had
a
broomstick
neck
and
nails
to
pick
his
strings,
To
the
memory
of
is
fallen
mates,
the
Changi
banjo
rings.
When
he
came
ashore
in
Sydney
like
a
ghost
of
skin
and
bones,
No-one
recognised
the
man
behind
the
haunted
face,
No-one
knows
the
sorrows,
only
he
could
tell
Of
how
he's
taking
one
last
journey
to
rest
with
his
old
mates.
He'll
play
his
Changi
banjo
made
of
tin,
The
bridge
piece
was
the
Rising
Sun
from
off
his
slouch
hat
brim,
Had
a
broomstick
neck
and
nails
to
pick
his
strings,
To
the
memory
of
is
fallen
mates,
the
Changi
banjo
rings.
He'll
play
his
Changi
banjo
made
of
tin,
The
bridge
piece
was
the
Rising
Sun
from
off
his
slouch
hat
brim,
Had
a
broomstick
neck
and
nails
to
pick
his
strings,
To
the
memory
of
is
fallen
mates,
the
Changi
banjo
rings.
To
the
memory
of
is
fallen
mates,
the
Changi
banjo
rings.
