Travelin’ Minstrel Band

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

We’ll do our best to make you happy if we can

We’ll sing our songs and move along

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

Our lives are measured by the telephone poles

And all the miles we’ve had to make

We never care much where that old highway goes

We’re happy almost any place

We make our living with a beat-up guitar

We’re obligated to our band

We don’t have time for makin’ permanent plans

We’re always playin’ one-night stands

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

We’ll do our best to make you happy if we can

We’ll sing our songs and move along

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

We’ve got a suitcase full of stories to tell

‘Bout all the places that we’ve been

When you’ve heard the stories and we’ve sung you our song

We’ll be back on the road again

Shout out the number that you’d like us to play

And clap your hands and sing along

Let’s have a good time while we still have today

Because tomorrow we’ll be gone

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

We’ll do our best to make you happy if we can

We’ll sing our songs and move along

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band

We’ll do our best to make you happy if we can

We’ll sing our songs and move along

We’re just a travelin’ minstrel band
