Bill Anderson - Golden Guitar слова песни
I happened to walk into a honky tonk one night down in New OrleansUp above the bar hung a big guitar like none I`d ever seenThe neck was set with diamonds and though the strings were oldLike Kings of Sound they wound around six keys of solid goldA man stepped up beside me his breath was strong with wineHe said you know that guitar once belonged to a mighty close pal of mineHe used to play it right here I forget the year around `45 I thinkHa I could tell you quite a story friend if you`d care to buy me a drink[ ac.guitar ]Well I possessed by every weakness that takes a man a foolI bought a round he drank it down and then he rocked back on his stoolHe said yeah I remember now it was `45 alrightHe just returned from the Great War that`s where he lost his sight His buddies gave him that guitar at the time it was simple and plain He added the gold and the diamonds as he played his way to fameHe was doing a show in Shreveport the night he received a callTo come appear on the Grand Ole Opry the greatest show at all[ ac.guitar ]I was driving him to Nashville it was cold and misting rainThe signals flashed and the whistle screamed I swear Mister I never saw that trainI heard the doctor tell him just after he used his knifeYou`re lucky son it was just your arm it could have been your lifeBut he died that night life just demanded more than he could giveI think he couldn`ve made it he just lost his will to liveBut this world`s loss is heaven`s gain and tonight he`s still a starHe plays with a band of angels that`s my son`s golden guitar
