Somewhere by a riverside
Sits the man old tom
His fingertips are calloused
And rough are his palms
Hear him play his banjo
Old tom with two faces
Come dance in the day
And you wont have to stay
At night when he plays
Then your soul shall remain
In moonlight theres a secret
You should listen close
And see that old toms playing
Is that of a ghost
Hear him play his banjo
Old tom with two faces
Come dance in the day
And you wont have to stay
At night when he plays
Then your soul shall remain
From below they appear
Lost souls gather again
They dance in the ghostly light
Old toms banjo brings them back
Just for the night
Trapped and caught in ghostly grip
Dance until you drop
And the next time that he plays
Come back to the spot
Hear him play his banjo
Old tom with two faces
Come dance in the day
And you wont have to stay
At night when he plays
Then your soul shall remain
