Steel Guitar Blues - Roy Acuff

My baby loved to hear this guitar blue

My baby loved to hear this guitar blue

But now she’s gone I’m lonesome lonesome to

(play that thing boy)

Evertime you make that lonesome sound

Evertime you make that lonesome sound

I wish to the lord I was six feet under the ground

(Make it cry boy)

Everythime you slide that guitar string

Everythime you slide that guitar string

It breaks my heart cause sure don’t sound the same

(Go way up on the neck of it now boy

Thats the way make it cry)

Thought I heard that steel guitar a crying

Thought I heard that steel guitar a crying

My mind goes back to the day my girl was dying

(Play that boy

Play that old base too, red)
