"Mr. Banker" is a song by southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song was recorded in 1973, however it went unreleased until their debut album, (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) was re-released with bonus tracks in 2001. It was written by Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, and Ed King.[1]

Content

The song is memorable for its lyrics and simple blues guitar riff. The song is sung by Ronnie Van Zant, about a man begging the bank for money to bury his father. Despite misconceptions, the song is not about Van Zant's father, Lacy Van Zant. Because the song went unreleased it did not reach chart success.[2]
