Text size:
In a Alittle cabaret in a South Texas Eborder town
Sat a Eboy and his guitar and the people came from Aall around
And all the Agirls from there to EAustin
Were Eslippin' away from home and puttin' jewelry in Ahock
To take the Atrip, to go and Elisten
To the Elittle dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top Abox
And he would Dplay
Instrumental
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him don't stop
And hypnotized and fascinated
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
Instrumental
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round
He vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town
But all the girls still dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
And then one day on the 'Hit Parade'
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
Instrumental
