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
