Lyrics Golden Guitar - Bill Anderson
(Curtis
Leach
- Betty
Gary)
I
happened
to
walk
into
a
honky
tonk
One
night
down
in
New
Orleans
Up
above
the
bar
hung
a
big
guitar
Like
none
I'd
ever
seen.
The
neck
was
set
with
diamonds
And
though
the
strings
were
old
Like
Kings
of
sound
they
wound
around
Six
keys
of
solid
gold.
A
man
stepped
up
beside
me
His
breath
was
strong
with
wine
He
said
you
know
that
guitar
once
belonged
To
a
mighty
close
pal
of
mine.
He
used
to
play
it
right
here
I
forget
the
year
around
'45,
I
think
Ha,
I
could
tell
you
quite
a
story
friend
If
you'd
care
to
buy
me
a
drink.
Well,
I
possessed
by
every
weakness
That
takes
a
man
a
fool
I
bought
a
round,
he
drank
it
down
And
then
he
rocked
back
on
his
stool.
He
said,
Yeah,
I
remember
now
It
was
'45
alright.
He
just
returned
from
the
Great
War
That's
where
he
lost
his
sight.
His
buddies
gave
him
that
guitar
At
the
time
it
was
simple
and
plain
He
added
the
gold
and
the
diamonds
As
he
played
his
way
to
fame.
He
was
doing
a
show
in
Shreveport
The
night
he
received
a
call
To
come
appear
on
the
Grand
Ole
Opry
The
greatest
show
at
all.
I
was
driving
him
to
Nashville
It
was
cold
and
misting
rain
The
signals
flashed
and
the
whistle
screamed
I
swear
Mister
I
never
saw
that
train.
I
heard
the
doctor
tell
him
Just
after
he
used
his
knife
You're
lucky
son
it
was
just
your
arm
It
could
have
been
your
life.
But
he
died
that
night,
life
just
demanded
More
than
he
could
give
I
think
he
couldn've
made
it
He
just
lost
his
will
to
live.
But
this
world's
loss
is
heaven's
gain
And
tonight
he's
still
a
star
He
plays
with
a
band
of
angels
That's
my
son's
golden
guitar...
