_ _ In a little cabaret in a [F] South Texas border town sat a boy and his guitar and the people
[Bb] came from all around and all the girls from [F] there to Austin _ were slipping away from home
and putting jewelry [Bb] in lock to take the trip to go [F] and listen to the little dark haired
boy that played the Tennessee [Gm] flat top box and [Eb] he would play. _ _

_ _ Well he couldn't write
or wrangle and he never cared [F] to make a dime but give him his guitar and he'd be [Bb] happy
all the time and all the girls from [F] nine to ninety were snapping fingers, tapping toes
and begging him [Bb] don't stop and hypnotized and [F] fascinated by the little dark haired boy
that played the Tennessee [Bb] flat top box and [Eb] he would play. _ _

_ _ Then one day he was gone and
no one ever [F] saw him round he vanished like the breeze and they forgot him [Bb] in the little
town but all the girls still [F] dreamed about him _ and hung around the cabaret until the
[Bb] doors were locked and then one day [F] on the hip parade _ was a little dark haired boy that
played the Tennessee flat [Bb] top box [Eb] and he would play. _ _
