in a little cabaret , in a south texas border town ,
A
sat a boy and his guitar , and the people came from all around .
E
and all the girls from there to austin were slippin’ ’way from home
A E
and puttin’ jew’lry in hock to take the trip to go and listen
A
to the little dark haired boy that played the tennessee flat top box .
D
and he would play . . .

A E
well , he couldn’t ride or wrangle , and he never cared to make a dime .
A
but give him his guitar and he’d be happy all the time .
E
and all the girls from nine to ninety
A
were snappin’ fingers , tappin’ toes and beggin’ him , “don’t stop!”
E
and hypnotized , and fasci – nated
A
by the little dark haired boy that played the tennessee flat top box .
D
and he would play . . .

A E
then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him ’round .
A
he vanished like the breeze , and they forgot him in the little town .
E
but all the girls still dreamed A – bout him
A
and hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked .
E
and then one day on the hit pa – rade
A
was a little dark haired boy that played the tennessee flat top box .
D
and he would play . . .
