"The Old Calahan" by BZN was released in 1981. The song tells you, that when you're blue, you can play on your guitar. Play with a strong beat and not too fast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyDtlC3Ixus [Verse 1]

L^East night when ^AI felt so l^Donely and so b^Alue ^AI was playing that ^Dold time blues The bl^Aues of old Calah^Ean. Well, he was b^Aorn in K^Dentucky, far aw^Aay He would be soon the f^Damest man Kent^Aucky ^Eever k^Anew.

[Chorus]

I t^Aook my guitar and my old country fiddle Pl^Dayed me a song of the ^Aold Calah^Ean. He ^Aonce was a star in the days of the union ^DWe all kn^Aow him as the ^Eold Calah^Aan.

[Verse 2]

W^Eell, he was p^Aoor with no p^Denny to his n^Aame Th^Aere was sorrow and th^Dere was pain But n^Ao-one was to bl^Eame. He went to t^Aown, just a g^Duitar in his h^Aands He made fortune and ^Dhe got fame At l^Aast he m^Eade the gr^Aade.

[Chorus]

I t^Aook my guitar and my old country fiddle Pl^Dayed me a song of the ^Aold Calah^Ean. He ^Aonce was a star in the days of the union ^DWe all kn^Aow him as the ^Eold Calah^Aan.

[Verse 3]

L^East night when ^AI felt so l^Donely and so bl^Aue ^AI was playing that ^Dold time blues The bl^Aues of old Calah^Ean. ^ESo I can t^Aell you wher^Dever, my best fr^Aiends Wh^Aen you're lonely, wh^Den you're blue Just p^Alay it l^Eike I ^Ado.

[Chorus]

I t^Aook my guitar and my old country fiddle Pl^Dayed me a song of the ^Aold Calah^Ean. He ^Aonce was a star in the days of the union ^DWe all kn^Aow him as the ^Eold Calah^Aan.

[Chorus]

I t^Aook my guitar and my old country fiddle Pl^Dayed me a song of the ^Aold Calah^Ean. He ^Aonce was a star in the days of the union ^DWe all kn^Aow him as the ^Eold Calah^Aan.
