[Verse 1]
GIn a little cabaret in a South Texas border Dtown, G
Sat a boy and his guitar, aGnd the people came from miles around.
And all tDhe girls from there to Austin,
GWere slipping away from home and pDutting jewelery in hock.
TGo take the trip, to go and listen,
To the lDittle dark-haired boy who Gplayed the Tennessee flat Dtop box.
AGnd he would play SOLO
[Verse 2]
WGell, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never Dcared to make a dime.
But give him his guitar, Gand he'd be happy all the time.
And all Dthe girls from nine to nineGty,
Were snapping fingers, tapping tDoes, and begging him: "Don't stoGp.
And hypnotized aDnd fascinated,
By the little daGrk-haired boy who played the TenDnessee flat top box.
AGnd he would play SOLO
[Verse 3]
TheGn one day he was gone, and no one ever saw hiDm 'round,
He'd vanished like the bGreeze, they forgot him in the little town.
But all tDhe girls still dreamed abGout him.
And hung around the cabaret untiDl the doors were locked.
And theGn one day on the Hit ParaDde,
Was a little dark-hGaired boy who played the TennDessee flat top box.
AGnd he would play. SOLO
