[Verse 1]
[F]Unc[C]le[G][C][F][C][G][C]
Benny
Never had a penny,
Only had his [F]old [C]banjo.
[F]Never had a job,
Never earned a bob,
[C]Always free to [F]come and [C]go.
[G]He played the banjo [Am]gaily, boys,
For [F]any[G]one he'd [C]meet.
[F]Benny was a fellow who could
[G]Sweep girls off [C]their feet.

[Verse 2]
He'd [Am]set their toes a- t[Em]apping
with his [F]songs,
[Am]Making friends who'd [Em]join him as
he [F]slowly strolled [G]along.
There was [C]Michael Flynn played [G]violin
While [Am]Clancy [Em]played [F]the flute,

[Verse 3]
And [C]Tommy McManis gave the [G]old cornet [C]a toot.

[Verse 4]
[C]Uncle Benny
Never had a penny,
Only had his [F]old [C]banjo.
[F]Fat around the middle,
Always on the fiddle,
[C]No one ever [F]seemed [C]to know.
In the [G]clubs and the pubs [Am]around the town,
[F]Up and [G]down [C]the street,

[Verse 5]
[F]Benny was a fellow who could
[G]Sweep girls off their [C]feet.

[Verse 6]
He'd [Am]set their toes a- t[Em]apping
with his [F]songs,
[Am]Making friends who'd [Em]join him as
[F]he slowly strolled [G]along.

[Verse 7]
There was [C]Jack
[G]McBass who played the bass
While [Am]Danny [Em]played [F]the drum,
And [C]everyone watching [G]would clap their hands and
[C]hum.

[Verse 8]
[C]Uncle Benny
Never had a penny,
Only had [F]his old [C]banjo.
[F]Singing at the fair,
Silver in his hair,
[C]Uncle Benny [F]had [C]to go.
He [G]failed it on a high [Am]note
[F]In his [G]final [C]show,
And I [F]never knew what happened to
[G]Benny's old [C]banjo.
Uncle Benny
Never had a penny
Only had [F]his own ban[C]jo
Uncle Benny
Never had a penny
Only had his [F]own ban[C]jo
Uncle Benny...
