- verse2 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
- turnaround
-
- verse3 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
- turnaround
- finis
-
- I'll try to post tab for the turnaround lick next week. I'm new at this.
- I have the other Rosanne songs you requested coming. Plus 'Hold On' from
