Members MattSkibaIsGOD Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 This old Guitar taught me to sing a love songTaught me how to laugh and how to cry... Bought my First real six string, bought it at the five and dime While my guitar gently weeps.. That's all I can think of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jwm1958m Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 I can't beleive I didn't think of this one first.... Deep down Louisiana close to New OrleansWay back up in the woods among the evergreensThere stood a log cabin made of earth and woodWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B. GoodeWho never ever learned to read or write so wellBut he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sackGo sit beneath the tree by the railroad trackOh, the engineerswould see him sitting in the shadeStrumming with the rhythm that the drivers madePeople passing by they would stop and sayOh my that little country boy could play -Chuck Berry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastblueheeler Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks! I'm on a roll; This is a really old one - 1800's traditional. I've heard it by Woody Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie, Dave Alvin, Doc Watson, Dylan, and even the White Stripes! It's an old story, you marry a 15 year old girl and a wild, handsome gypsy comes along and steals her away. Gypsy Davy (or Blackjack Davy) Woody Guthrie (4th verse)There in the light of the camping fireI saw her fair face beamingHer heart in tune with the big guitarAnd the voice of the gypsy singingThat song of the gypsy Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fastblueheeler Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Tennessee Flat Top - Johnny Cash 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' away from home and puttin' jewelery in hock.To take the trip, to go and listen,To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. Picking up the Pieces - Poco If ya had the time to stayWould ya sit yourself down and playCountry music Singin' songs that we both knewLord, I know that the day will comeWhen the both of us'll sit down and strumOn our guitarsAnd you'll see I really am a lot like you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 "Teardrops On My Guitar" - Taylor Swift Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't seeThat I want and I'm needing everything that we should beI'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks aboutAnd she's got everything that I have to live without Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funnyThat I can't even see anyone when he's with meHe says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night [Chorus:] He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitarThe only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing starHe's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?And there he goes, so perfectly,The kind of flawless I wish I could beShe'd better hold him tight, give him all her loveLook in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause [Repeat Chorus] So I drive home alone, as I turn out the lightI'll put his picture down and maybeGet some sleep tonight He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitarThe only one who's got enough of me to break my heartHe's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I doHe's the time taken up, but there's never enoughAnd he's all that I need to fall into.. Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
