This old guitar taught me
to sing a love song
it showed me how to laugh
and how to cry
It intro duced me to
some friends of mine
and brightened up some days
and helped me make it
thru some lonely nights Oh
What a friend to have on a
cold and lonely night
This old guitar gave me
my lovely lady
it opened up her eyes
and ears to me
it brought us close together
and I guess it
broke her heart
it opened up the space
for us to be
What a lovely place
and a lovely space to be
This old guitar gave me
my life my living
all the things you know
I love to do
to serenade the
stars that shine
from a sunny mountain side
and most of all to sing
my songs for you
I love to sing
my songs for you
Yes I do you know
and I love to sing
my songs for you
