This-old guitar taught me to sing
a love song Showed me how
to laugh and how to cry It introduced me
to some friends of mine brightened up some days
It helped me make it through
some lonely nights What a friend to have
on a cold and lonely night This old gui-tar
gave me my lovely lady It opened up her eyes
and ears to me It brought us close together
I-guess it broke her heart It opened
up the space for us to be What a lovely place
lovely space to be This old guitar
gave me my life my living
All the things you know I love to do
To serenade the stars that shine
from a sunny mountain side And most of all
to sing my songs for you I love to sing
my songs for you Yes, I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you
