ME AND MY RHTYTHM GUITAR (John Pavlik) JOHNNY POWERS (SUN, recorded 1959) Well, it's me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar Well, I was a happy-go-lucky country boy Bought me brand new guitar And I was strummin' oh-of joy Just me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar Well, we signed up about a quarter to nine All the cats they're rock 'n' rollin And having a real big time They'd whistle and scream like a run-away car And a voice ring out man, play that guitar Well, it's me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar Well, I had a mansion, man I was really happy sad boy These times they got me runnin' the steps So ah, I cut me record of a Kansas tune And I was nervous as a hounddog Chasing the man in the moon Well, it's me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar Well, I was a happy-go-lucky country boy Bought me brand new guitar And I was strummin' oh-of joy Just me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar Well, as fate would have it And my record became a flop And my bit of fame of fortune all of a sudden stops So I went home a wise and happy boy Just me and my guitar, like a kid with his toy Well, it's me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar Well, I was a happy-go-lucky country boy Bought me brand new guitar And I was strummin' oh-of joy Just me and my rhythm guitar Just me and my rhythm guitar |
