Tennessee Flat Top Box Lyrics

Intro:
In a little cabaret, in a south Texas border town,
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around.
And all the girls from there to Austin were slippin' 'way from home
And puttin' jew'lry in hock to take the trip to go and listen
To the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
And he would play...
Guitar Solo:
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time.
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snappin' fingers, tappin' toes and beggin' him, "Don't stop!"
And hypnotized, and fasci - nated
By the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
And he would play...
Guitar Solo:
Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him 'round.
He vanished like the breeze, and they forgot him in the little town.
But all the girls still dreamed a-bout him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
And then one day on the hit pa-rade
Was a little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
And he would play...
