Black Diamond Strings Lyrics

Artist: Guy Clark
Album: Dublin Blues

Chorus

Black Diamond Strings
Black Diamond Strings
Drinkin1 W. Harper
PlayinBlack Diamond Strings
Black Diamond Strings
Are like white flour and grits
You play Black Diamond Strings
...?ause itÅ all you can get

Black Diamond Strings on a Catalog Guitar
ThatÅ pretty high cotton whoever you are
You break one you change one, thatÅ 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
He played in the yard just to lighten his load

Chorus

Hey J.W play that frogline
Let Rodney sit in, hell, heÅ goinon nine
His fingers are bleedin but heÅ keepingood time
PlayinBlack Diamond Strings, heÅ l never quit tryin

Causette told ...m both
You boys pack t up, itÅ time to go home
We got church in the mornin itÅ cominup dawn
DonÅ make me say it again or IÅ gone
You can stay here forever, but youÅ e gonna walk home
