Eric Bibb - Bookers Guitar lyrics
[Eric Bibb - Bookers Guitar lyrics]
By the great Booker White
Found it's way, by grace into my arms
He would call it "Hard Rock"
'Cos the body's made of steel
On th headstock he glued a heart-shaped charm
In a brown leather case
With green velvet linin'
It thrilled my soul to the core
Stuck on the side with old scotch tape
Was a list of the songs he's famous for
Booker's guitar's got a story to tell
Of hard-earned hope an' unshed tears
Booker's guitar rings like a bell
It's gonna keep on ringin'
For a thousand years
The late greate Booker White
Sang straight from his heart
Everyone who heard him knows it's true
He'd spank that shiny guitar just like a drum
'Cross the Mississippi Delta, Europe too
Booker's guitar's got a story to tell
Of boxcars an' scars, moonshine an' beer
Booker's guitar rings like a bell
It's gonna keep on ringin'
For a thousand years
Booker's guitar's got a story to tell
A story the world needs to hear
Booker's guitar rings like a bell
It's gonna keep on ringin'
For a thousand years
