Talking Guitar Blues (Remastered 2021) - Lonnie Donegan
If you wanna get in trouble let me
Tell you how to do it
Get yourself a guitar and then
You're right into it
You play all day and you
Play all night
People say you'll never
Learn to play the thing right
Always messing about
groaning at you
Moaning won't let you practise
So I bought meself a
Guitar about a year ago
The man said I could
Learn it in a week or so
Gave me a little book
Pick or two
Said Here y'are mate
It's up to you
Dirty rotter cost me ten nicker
All the loot I had
Good guitar though called it a pluckit
Anyway spent me dough
And I couldn't let it all go to
Waste you know
So I took the book guitar and all
And I went back home
Where the trees are tall
Down in Woodford good
Place to be if you've got a guitar
Pretty rotten if you ain't
Well for weeks and
Weeks I worked hard
And I tried to learn a
Few main chords
The book says they're easy as ABC
Cor my fingers is killing me
Got sore on the ends
Couldn't hold the strings down
Wanted to pack up cor
I felt rough
Anyway kept on playing
With all me might
I could see Mum's
Hair was turning white
And her face was lined with
Discontent
She said her patience
Was pretty near spent
She was nervous ears ringing
Wanted to scream
You know couldn't
Get no relief
So sister anyway
She took it worst of all
'Cause she got married
The following fall
She said For love but
I got me doubts
I think the guitar chased her out
She's a game girl though
Just couldn't take it you know
Limit to everything
Dad he took it a different way
He said you can turn your
Mum's hair grey
Drive your sister away from home
But you or me boy's
Gonna start to roam
And I ain't going never
Intend to
You figure it out so I did fast
You know
Anyway next day had me clothes
All packed
And I slung me guitar across me back
Caught meself a great long train
Searched the world for me share of fame
Ain't found none just hardships
Messing about
