Steel Guitar Rag by Merle Travis Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1947

Been runnin' around, seen many a-town
Maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy to brag
But listen to me and see if you don't agree
No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag

And when they slide that thing along the strings
It sounds so doggone heavenly, you hear the angels sing
When you start your feet, man, your heart will beat
A rhythm to that old steel guitar rag

You may be kindly choosy 'bout the kinda songs you hear
You may like songs that's bluesy, makes you cry right in your beer
But if you want a song that's bound to drive away your cares
Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag
Now, here's Heard Bremington and his steel guitar!


Johnny Kimble!


You may be kindly choosy 'bout the kinda songs you hear
You may like songs that's bluesy, makes you cry right in your beer
But if you want a song that's bound to drive away your cares
Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag
