Down in Louisiana On a cotton plantation Little tent room shack And a third grade education
Two stringed wood guitar I taught myself how to play, yes, I did Kept the whole family up all night And I told them that you'll all thank me one day Yes, I did
My sister would scream "Boy, you just got to stop You're waking up the whole family Everybody is going to be hot"
Two stringed wood guitar And I sure enough taught myself how to play She said, "Turn it down, Buddy" I said, "Shut up, you're gonna thank me someday" You're gonna thank me one day Did you hear what I said?
That was sixty years ago Now my mom and dad is gone I go see my sisters and brothers And the grand-kids come along
I give the little ones my guitar I tell 'em, "Close your eyes and play Don't even worry about the neighbors Y'all gonna thank me someday"
Down in Louisiana On a cotton plantation A little tent room shack And I only got a third grade education
That's why I taught myself I'm telling you that's why I taught myself How to play, yes, I did I kept my family up all night And now they're thanking me everyday Oh yeah, they're thanking me everydayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
