Mama always taught me
To never play with the heart
It'll be wrong on your part
But i guess your mama never taught you
That's why your here today
But a heart is not an instrument
So just walk right on your way
You can play with a fiddle
You can play with a mandolin
You could play with a guitar
But you can't play with my heart
You can play an old time banjo
Be sure to let it ring
You could play classical by Mozart
Or you could just sing
But a heart is not an instrument
So please stop playing
Banjo
Well you ripped my heart to pieces
And you played me like a bass
So i hope you tune those strings too much
And it hits you in the face
Cause honey I'm no instrument to be played in whatever way
But if you treat me right
I just might let you stay
You can play with a fiddle
You can play with a mandolin
You could play with a guitar
But you can't play with my heart
You can play an old time banjo
Be sure to let it ring
You could play classical by Mozart
Or you could just sing
But a heart is not an instrument
So please stop playing
Mandolin
Dobro
Fiddle
You can play with a fiddle

But a heart is not an instrument
So please stop playing
Fiddle
