[Verse 1]
A E7
In a little cabaret, in a South Texas border town
E7 A
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around
A E7
And all the girls from there to Austin
E7 A
Were slipping away from home and putting jewelry in hock
A E7
To take the trip to go and listen
E7 A
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
(Turnaround)
And he would play...
[Verse 2]
A E7
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime
E7 A
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time
A E7
And all the girls from nine to ninety
E7 A
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him don't stop
A E7
And hypnotized and fascinated
E7 A
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
(Turnaround)
And he would play...
[Verse 3]
A E7
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round
E7 A
He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town
A E7
But all the girls still dreamed about him
E7 A
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
A E7
And then one day on the Hit Parade
E7 A
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
(Turnaround)
And he would play...
