Guitarman |
| Well I quit my job down at the carwash |
| Left my mother a goodbye note |
| By sundown I left Kingston with my guitar under my coat |
| Hitchiked all the way down to Memphis |
| Got a room at the YMCA |
| For the next three weeks went hunting at nights |
| Just looking for a place to play |
| Well I thought my picking would set them on fire |
| But nobody wanted to hire a guitarman |
| Well I nearly starved to death down in Memphis |
| I run out of money and luck |
| So I bummed me a ride down to Mecon, Georgia |
| On an overloaded poultry truck |
| Thumbed on down to Panama City |
| Started picking at some of them all night bars |
| Hoping I could make myself a dollar making music on my guitar |
| Got the same old story the moment I’d appear |
| There ain’t room around here for a guitarman |
| Don’t need a guitarman son |
| So I slept in the hobo jungles |
| I roamed thousand miles of track |
| Till I find myself in Mobile, Alabama |
| At a club they call Big Jacks |
| A little four piece band was jamming |
| So I took my guitar and I sat in |
| I showed em what a band would sound like |
| With a swinging little guitarman |
| Show em son |
| If you ever take a trip down to the ocean |
| Find yourself down around Mobile |
| Make it on out to a club called Jacks |
| If you got a little time to kill |
| Just follow that crowd of people |
| You’ll wind up out on his dance floor |
| Digging the finest little five piece group |
| Up and down the Gulf of Mexico |
| Guess who’s leading that five piece band |
| Wouldn’t you know it’s that swinging little guitarman |
| «he was a degenerates degenerate» |
