Flat Top

I went down to Nashville on a Saturday night
To see the Barn Dance Jubilee
Well, I met a boy with a flat top guitar
He really picked the blues for me, oh Lord
He really picked the blues for me

I asked him if he knew a song called "Alabam'"
Or a song about sunny Tennessee
He said he thought he might and Lordy what a sight
When he played that flat top for me, oh Lord
When he played that flat top for me

Some people like songs about the mountains
And others about the deep blue sea
Just give me that old boy and his flat top guitar
And let him pick the blues for me, yes
Let him pick the blues for me

If you ever come to Nashville on a Saturday night
Be sure and see that Barn Dance Jubilee
You will hear the fiddles sing and the banjos they will ring
And the flat top will play the blues for me
And the flat top will play the blues for me
