[Verse 1]
            
Well the sun c

          
ame up, bright

 and clear
          
I headed for t

he fishin’ hol

e
             
Just in case t

  
he fish don’t 

bite
             
I brought alon

        
g my old banjo
             
Bluegrass play

             
in’ on the rad

 
io
              
I sure do love

       
 that sound
             
I come here to

      
 fish, but I c

hanged my mind
             
Too much movin

           
’ around

[Chorus]
             
The sun’s so h

            
ot and I’m so 

tired
             
I just can’t d

 
o no more
             
Under the shad

         
e of my old oa

k tree
             
Me and my old 

        
banjo

[Instrumental Break]
            

[Verse 2]
             
I could try my

            
 hand at Soldi

er’s Joy
             
Or maybe Cripp


le Creek
             
But listenin’ 

       
to Earl’s Brea

kdown
             
That makes my 

          
fingers weak

[Chorus]
             
The sun’s so h

            
ot and I’m so 

tired
             
I just can’t d

 
o no more
             
Under the shad

         
e of my old oa

k tree
             
Me and my old 

        
banjo

[Instrumental Break]
            

[Verse 3]
             
Now the sun’s 

             
a-goin’ down, 

   
it’s gettin’ d

ark
              
I guess I’d be

  
tter go
             
But we’ll come

         
 back to the o

l’ oak tree
             
Me and my old 

        
banjo

[Chorus]
