[Verse 1]
A E
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar
A
And the people came from all around
E
And all the girls from there to Austin
A
Were slipping away from home and putting jewelery in hock
E
To take the trip, to go and listen
To the little darkhaired boy
A
That played the Tennessee flat top box
D
And he would play

[Verse 2]
A
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle
E
And he never cared to make a dime
But give him his guitar,
A
and he'd be happy all the time
E
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes
A
And begging him don't stop
E
And hypnotized and fascinated
By the little darkhaired boy
A
That played the Tennessee flat top box
D
And he would play

[Verse 3]
A
Then one day he was gone,
E
and no one ever saw him around
He'd vanished like the breeze,
A
and they forgot him in the little town
E
But all the girls still dreamed about him
A
And a hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
E
And then one day on the Hit Parade
Was a little darkhaired boy
A
That played the Tennessee flat top box
[Break]
