Mr. Banker Lyrics

Mister Banker
Mister please, how much does money mean
Won't you reconsider Mister
Won't you do this thing for me
Ain't got no house
Ain't got no car
All I got, lord, is my guitar
But you can have that Mister Banker
Won't you bury my papa for me
Oh Mister Banker please
Listen to how that sound

I would not be here on my knees
But hey Mister Banker
It means so much to me
Oh won't you reconsider Mister
Won't you do this thing for me

I told you Mister
I ain't got no house
Ain't got no car
I got me a 1950 Les Paul guitar
Won't you take it Mister Banker
Won't you bury my papa for me
Oh Mister Banker please

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is a good song. simple but moving. the guitar has feelings in it, and it gets pissed off. i wish they released this song as a single or played it more, it would have been big.
