They Stole My Steel Guitar

They Stole My Steel Guitar - Hermann Lammers Meyer

Now I'm a guitar picker musician is my trade

A full fledged union member

Lord knows where all I've played

The other day I left my things in the trunk

Of my old car

Would you believe some dirty dog

Stole my steel guitar

It's just an old used show bud

For which I've saved and scraped

I bought it second handed from a cat

Who's name was Drake

I loved it like a woman and

I cherished every war

And killed a man whose sticky

Hands lept on my steel guitar

I babied every peddle and polished

Them each day

I had the only show bud in

Poat Oak out away

I was king of all the women they

Wrote from near and far

But the mail has sure been dropping

Off they stole my steel guitar

It's just an old used show bud

For which I've saved and scraped

I bought it second handed from a cat

Who's name was Drake

I loved it like a woman and I cherished

Every war

And killed a man whose sticky hands

Lept on my steel guitar

I can sound like Roy Wiggins Don Helms

And sound ok

I could played a deny boy

Oh most like Jimmy day

And when I played like Emmons it nearly

Caught on fire

But I can't play know hot licks now

They stole my steel guitar

It's just an old used show bud

For which I've saved and scraped

I bought it second handed from a cat

Who's name was Drake

I loved it like a woman and

I cherished every war

And killed a man

Who's sticky hands lept on my steel guitar
