Lyrics The Broken String Song - Steve Goodman

The Broken String Song

No, broke a string
I broke a string
I have to stand up here and sing
I was wrong, because that’s one too long
I broke a string, broke a string, broke a string
Mmmm, now if somebody please
Who works in this place
Could go in the back, and open the case
And bring out a set, ah you bet, I’ll change the string
Change the string, change the string
It won’t take long, it won’t take long
And then I won’t hafta, sing this goddamn song, goddamn song
Oh no, if he’d only bring, only bring
Another string, another string, another string
Mmmm, oh please, bring it to me
If you can’t find the whole set, then find a 'G'
Find a 'G', oh no, I’m like a bird with one wing
Without my string, without my string, without my string
