Hey TooFast,
Don't know if'n yer still a lookin'. And this prob'ly ain't Xactly what you was a lookin' fer,
but these here lyrics might could work with the tune from USIN' MY DOBRO FOR A DOORSTOP:

IS THERE ANY BANJERS UP IN HEAVEN?
(Tune: several possibilities)

I had an awful dream the other night, dear
I woke up feeling dread and deep regret
Since that night one question looms before me
And thinkin’ about it, whoosh, just makes me sweat.

Is there any banjers up in heaven?
Or do they confiscated them as I fear
Does St. Peter say “turn in that 5-string
The Lord don’t ‘low no banjer pickin’ here."

Now I have one question for you, buddy
You’re entitled your opinion – more or less
If there ain’t no banjers up in heaven
Is Eternity too long just t’ sit n’ rest?

Now I’ve had some time to ponder on it
When I reach them pearly gates, if I’s to say
“No, St. Pete, I’ll not give you this banjer”
Likely I’d get sent the other way.

Now I’m wonderin’ if at Devil’s Gate they’d tell me
“Welcome, Jack. They’s big jams goin’ down.
If so, prehaps it’s just another part of heaven
Where banjer jams is always goin’ on.

Jammers all sing/chant:
St. Peter don’t ‘low no banjer pickin ‘round here (2)
We don’t care what Pete don’t ‘low
We gonna pick our five strings anyhow.
'Peter don’t 'low no banjer pickin’ 'round here.
(Banjo coda: shave 'n' a haircut)
Think about it, darlin...
