| Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue
|
| I was playing that old time blues
|
| The blues of old Calahan
|
| Well he was born in Kentucky, far away
|
| He would be soon the famest man
|
| Kentucky ever knew
|
| (Everybody now)
|
| I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
|
| Played me a song of the old Calahan
|
| He once was a star in the days of the union
|
| We all know him as the old Calahan
|
| (Come on now)
|
| Well he was poor with no penny to his name
|
| There was sorrow and there was pain
|
| But no one was to blame
|
| He went to town, just a guitar in his hands
|
| He made fortune and he got fame
|
| At last he made the grade
|
| (Everybody now)
|
| I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
|
| Played me a song of the old Calahan
|
| He once was a star in the days of the union
|
| We all know him as the old Calahan
|
| (Play this song now)
|
| Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue
|
| I was playing that old time blues
|
| The blues of old Calahan
|
| So I can tell you wherever, my best friends
|
| When you’re lonely, when you’re blue
|
| Just play it like I do
|
| (And everybody once more)
|
| I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
|
| Played me a song of the old Calahan
|
| He once was a star in the days of the union
|
| We all know him as the old Calahan
|
| (Woohoo)
|
| (Yeahoo)
|
| We all know him as the old Calahan
|
| (Come on everybody, sing it once more, yeah come on)
|
| I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
|
| Played me a song of the old Calahan
|
| He once was a star in the days of the union
|
| We all know him as the old Calahan |
