| This old guitar and me
|
| And the things that we’ve been through
|
| C.F. |
| Martin built him
|
| Back in nineteen fourty-two
|
| I remember when we met
|
| I was only seventeen
|
| I spent all my college money
|
| On a half a dozen strings
|
| I thought my folks would kill me
|
| I found out I was wrong
|
| They said your future’s written on your face
|
| When you sing those travelin' songs
|
| So we headed for Kentucky
|
| With a suitcase full of dreams
|
| My rough-out books, a few t-shirts
|
| A worn out pair of jeans
|
| Ooh
|
| This old guitar and me
|
| We spent a lot of nights alone
|
| Well, sometimes we’d get lucky
|
| And take bar maid home
|
| One night stands for breakfast
|
| Two strangers with the blues
|
| We’d wake up in the morning
|
| And both feel a little used
|
| Well, home was just a highway
|
| We’d roam from town to town
|
| Just me and that old flattop
|
| Not caring where we’re bound
|
| From Maine to California
|
| With a five piece travelin' band
|
| Singin' songs about the hard times
|
| That face the common man
|
| Ooh
|
| This old guitar and me
|
| Lord, we did the best we could
|
| One was born a sinner
|
| And one a piece of wood
|
| God sent a wooden angel
|
| To guide me on my way
|
| We were meant to be together
|
| Until my dyin' day
|
| Well, now my dearest old companion
|
| Lies underneath my bed
|
| Well, our travelin' days are over
|
| Man, but the memories fill my head
|
| Well, I’ve settled with my family
|
| Here in the hills of Tennessee
|
| To teach my children’s children
|
| 'Bout this old guitar and me
|
| Ooh |
