Lyrics

When I was a young boy, on my daddy's knee
When I was a young boy, my daddy said to me
Don't you ever play that guitar, it'll only bring you misery

Like most good children, I never listened to my dad
Like most good children, I had to do something bad
Don't you know I played that guitar, like it was all I ever had

Then one day it happened, my guitar caused romance
A brown eyed lady, said she would like to take a chance
Oh she loved to hear my play and I, I loved to watch her dance

Then one day she left me, you know that my heart bled
And on that day she left me, I could recall what daddy said
Now my fingers do the walking, as these blues just pour out of my head
