Tennessee flat top box
Johnny cashSat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around.
And all the girls from there to Austin,
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelry in hock.
To take the trip, to go and listen,
To the little dark-haired boy that played the Tennessee flat-top box.
And he would play: (Instrumental)
Well, he couldn't write or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time.
And all the girls from nine to ninety,
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop."
And hypnotized and fascinated,
By the little dark-haired boy that played the Tennessee flat-top box.
And he would play: (Instrumental)
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round,
He'd vanished like the breeze, and they forgot him in the little town.
But all the girls still dreamed about him.
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
And then one day on the Hit Parade,
Was a little dark-haired boy that played the Tennessee flat-top box.
And he would play: (Instrumental)
Sentou um garoto e seu violão, e as pessoas vieram de todos os lados.
E todas as garotas de lá até Austin,
Estavam dormindo longe de casa e penhorando suas joias.
Para fazer a viagem, para ir e ouvir,
Ao pequeno garoto de cabelos escuros que tocava o violão do Tennessee.
E ele tocava: (Instrumental)
Bem, ele não podia escrever ou argumentar, e ele nunca se importou em ganhar dinheiro.
Mas dê a ele seu violão, e ele ficaria feliz o tempo todo.
E todas as meninas, dos 9 aos 90,
Estalavam os dedos, batiam os pés, e o imploravam: "Não pare".
Hipnotizadas e fascinadas,
Pelo pequeno garoto de cabelos escuros que tocava o violão do Tennessee.
E ele tocava: (Instrumental)
Então um dia ele se foi, e ninguém mais o viu por aí,
Ele desapareceu como a brisa, que se esqueceram dele na pequena cidade.
Mas todas as meninas ainda sonhavam com ele.
Andando em volta do cabaré até as portas fecharem.
E então um dia nas paradas de sucesso,
Era um menino de cabelos escuros que tocava o violão do Tennessee.
E ele tocava: (Instrumental)
