Verse 1

B F#7 In a little cabaret, in a South Texas border town F#7 B Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around B F#7 And all the girls from there to Austin F#7 B Were slipping away from home and putting jewelry in hock B F#7 To take the trip to go and listen F#7 B To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box

Turnaround

And he would play...

Verse 2

B F#7 Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime F#7 B But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time B F#7 And all the girls from nine to ninety F#7 B Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him don't stop B F#7 And hypnotized and fascinated F#7 B By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box

Turnaround

And he would play...

Verse 3

B F#7 Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round F#7 B He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town B F#7 But all the girls still dreamed about him F#7 B And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked B F#7 And then one day on the Hit Parade F#7 B Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box

Turnaround

And he would play... Turnaround between verses
