Lyrics Santa Never Brings Me a Banjo - David Myles

Santa Never Brings Me a Banjo

Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve
I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
My brother got the train that he asked for
My sister even got a violin
How does he miss
The one thing on my list
In the letter that I sent to him
I told him how hard I would practice
Told him I would play so loud
That high lonesome sound
Would fill up the town
And I’d make my parents so proud
Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
I ask my parents if they know why
Santa always leaves me sad
I do well in school
I follow the rules
And I don’t think I’ve been bad
Maybe it’s too much for the workshop
Maybe it’s too tricky for the elves
Since I’ll never understand
I think I’m gonna plan
To buy one for myself
Cause Santa never brings me a banjo
I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
Every Christmas morning I cry
Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry
