This old guitar This old guitar taught me to sing the love song Show me how to laugh and how to cry Introduce me to some friends of mine, Brighten up some day Help me make it through some lonely night...oh! What's a friend to have on a cold and lonely night This old guitar gave me my lovely lady Open up her eyes and ears to me Brought us close together And I guess it broke her heart Open up this space for us to be What's a lovely place, the lovely space to be This old guitar gave me my life my living All the things you know I love to do To serenade the stars that shine From a sunny mountain side Most of all to sing my song to you I love to sing my song to you, yes I do, you know, I love to sing my song to you
