A E
In a little cabaret, in a south Texas border town,
A
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around.
E
And all the girls from there to Austin were slippin' 'way from home
A E
And puttin' jew'lry in hock to take the trip to go and listen
A
To the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
D
And he would play...

A E
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
A
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time.
E
And all the girls from nine to ninety
A
Were snappin' fingers, tappin' toes and beggin' him, "Don't stop!"
E
And hypnotized, and fasci - nated
A
By the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
D
And he would play...

Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him 'round.
A
He vanished like the breeze, and they forgot him in the little town.
E
But all the girls still dreamed a-bout him
A
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
E
And then one day on the hit pa-rade
A
Was a little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
D
And he would play...
