1-Mabry was a man who kept to himself
Mostly quiet, no one never knew much of what he thought or how he felt
Except for a good morning or when passing a hello
But, Mabry has a secret that no one else knows
2-When you live off of the beaten path, outside of town
Where the chuck-will’s-widow sings every night when the sun goes down
No TV or cellphone coverage needed to occupy one’s time
Just Mabry, his dog Ralph, and peace of mind
3-Two boys were drawn to his place because of what they heard inside
When they looked in the window they could not believe their eyes
The man that everyone in town thought was reserved and backwards
Was playing the banjo unlike anyone had ever heard
C-He was playing the clawhammer banjo while Ralph was wagging his tail
Smiling with hardly a tooth in his head, he came out of his shell
His banjo playing now no longer a secret, but heard and appreciated
By the boys who came up on his place, who loved to hear him play it
4-The boys listened for a while and then went and told everyone in town
And now every weekend so many of them want to come down
To Mabry’s place just so that they can hear
Him play the banjo, funny how no one ever had any clue or idea
C-That he could play the clawhammer banjo while Ralph would wag his tail
Smiling with hardly a tooth in his head, he came out of his shell
His banjo playing now no longer a secret, but heard and appreciated
By all of the townsfolk who wanted to come and hear him play it…
