Booker's Guitar

Lyrics

The guitar owned and played
 By the great Booker White
 Found its way by grace into my arms
 He would call it Hard Rock
 'Cause the body's made of steel
 On the headstock, he glued a heart-shaped charm
 In a brown leather case, with green velvet linin'
 It thrilled my soul to the core
 Stuck on the side with old scotch tape
 Was a list of the songs he's famous for
 Booker's guitar's got a story to tell
 Of hard-earned hope and unshed tears
 Booker's guitar rings like a bell
 It's gonna keep on ringin' for a thousand years
 The late great Booker White
 Sang straight from his heart
 Everyone who heard him knows it's true
 He'd spank that shiny guitar just like a drum
 'Cross the Mississippi Delta, Europe too
 Booker's guitar's got a story to tell
 Of boxcars an' scars, moonshine an' beer
 Booker's guitar rings like a bell
 It's gonna keep on ringin' for a thousand years
 Booker's guitar's got a story to tell
 A story the world needs to hear
 Booker's guitar rings like a bell
 It's gonna keep on ringin' for a thousand years
