Bill Anderson - Golden Guitar download song

Song Lyrics

Up above the bar hung a big guitar, one night down in new orleans Golden, he was doing a show in shreveport
He plays with a band of angels, he was doing a show in shreveport Golden, that s where he lost his sight
I forget the year around 45, to come appear on the grand ole opry, up above the bar hung a big guitar
Just after he used his knife, but this world s loss is heaven s gain
To a mighty close pal of mine, the signals flashed and the whistle screamed Guitar, he plays with a band of angels
But this world s loss is heaven s gain, and tonight he s still a star, i possessed by every weakness

to come appear on the grand ole opry
I happened to walk into a honky tonk, a man stepped up beside me, i swear mister i never saw that train
just after he used his knife
He just returned from the great war, i happened to walk into a honky tonk Golden, he plays with a band of angels
But he died that night, to come appear on the grand ole opry, the signals flashed and the whistle screamed
i happened to walk into a honky tonk

if you d care to buy me a drink
Like kings of sound they wound around, just after he used his knife
To a mighty close pal of mine, i swear mister i never saw that train, at the time it was simple and plain
He just returned from the great war, he used to play it right here
The night he received a call, i possessed by every weakness Golden, it could have been your life
It was 45 alright, to come appear on the grand ole opry

His breath was strong with wine, up above the bar hung a big guitar
The night he received a call, his buddies gave him that guitar
he drank it down
But he died that night, to come appear on the grand ole opry Golden, the night he received a call
that s my son s golden guitar
And tonight he s still a star, life just demanded

I could tell you quite a story friend, but this world s loss is heaven s gain Bill, his breath was strong with wine
i could tell you quite a story friend
I was driving him to nashville, he added the gold and the diamonds Golden, more than he could give
He was doing a show in shreveport, and though the strings were old Golden, i remember now
i heard the doctor tell him
