Black Diamond Strings

Black diamond strings
 This Black diamond strings
 Drinkin' 1 W. Harper
 Playin' black diamond strings
 Black diamond strings
 Are like white flour and grits
 You play black diamond strings
 'Cause it's all you can get
 Black diamond strings on a catalog guitar
 That's pretty high cotton, whoever you are
 You break one, you change one, that's as good as it gets
 You can play all year long on two or three sets
 J.W. Crowell was a hell of a man
 He played two nights a week in a hillbilly band
 He played at the Ice House on Telephone Road
 And he played in the yard just to lighten his load
 Black diamond strings
 Oh, black diamond strings
 Drinkin' 1 W. Harper
 Playin' black diamond strings
 Black diamond strings
 Are like white flour and grits
 You play black diamond strings
 'Cause it's all you can get
 Say hey, J.W, come on play that frogline
 Let Old Rodney sit in, hell, he's goin' on nine
 His fingers are bleedin', but he's keepin' good time
 Playin' black diamond strings and he'll never quit tryin'
 And I calls it, she told 'em both
 She said, "You boys pack it up, it's time to go home
 We got church in the mornin', man, it's comin' up dawn
 Now don't make me say it again or I'm gone
 You can stay here forever, but you'e gonna walk home"
 Black diamond strings

 Drinkin' 1 W. Harper

 Black diamond strings
 Are like white flour and grits
 You play black diamond strings
 'Cause it's all you can get
 Black diamond strings
 Oh, black diamond strings
 Drinkin' 1 W. Harper
