This old guitar taught me to sing a love song it showed me how to laugh and how to cry.
It introduced me to some friends of mine and it brightened up some days
And it helped me make it through 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, I love to sing my songs for you.
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
