The Old Calahan

E A D A Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue A D I was playing that old time blues A E The blues of old Calahan. A D A Well, he was born in Kentucky, far away D He would be soon the famest man A E A Kentucky ever knew. A I took my guitar and my old country fiddle D A E Played me a song of the old Calahan. A He once was a star in the days of the union D A E A We all know him as the old Calahan. E A D A Well, he was poor with no penny to his name A D There was sorrow and there was pain A E But no-one was to blame. A D A He went to town, just a guitar in his hands D He made fortune and he got fame A E A At last he made the grade. A I took my guitar and my old country fiddle D A E Played me a song of the old Calahan. A He once was a star in the days of the union D A E A We all know him as the old Calahan. E A D A Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue A D I was playing that old time blues A E The blues of old Calahan.
