I'm just an old guitar in the pawn shop on the corner
And I'm waiting for somebody to come by and play me now and then

My strings are kinda rusty and I'm a little dusty
Oh but you'd be to if you'd been where I've been

I did some shows with FLATT back in 1971
And one more time I’d love to Roll in Some Sweet Baby’s Arms

CH
I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner
Hey come on by and listen to my song

Wow, Lester Flatt – I saw him just a few times when Kenny Ingram played the banjo with the Nashville Grass

I've seen at least a million little honkytonks and fairgrounds

I've help to heal some heartaches
And I've helped to shed some tears
And the last one that held me
Just couldn't wait to sell me
And for twenty dollars left me hanging here

CH
But I dream about the spotlight
And the roaring of the people
And I wonder if I'm ever, gonna hear 'em sing along

I'm just a banjo in the pawn shop on the corner
Hey come on by and listen to my song

One night at Bean Blossom, Reno picked me up and played Charlotte Breakdown

Don Reno?

And Sonny needed help at the Opry one night and I was on stage for Rocky Top with him and Bobby

You know, Doc was at the Ash Grove in California, and played a set with me and we showed the Hollywood folks what flatpicking was

Doc Watson was the coolest!

CH
I've got a lot of memories
And a song or two left in me
And someday, someone will pick me up
And play me back home

I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner
Hey come on by and listen to my song

Tag
Oh I'm just a banjo in the pawn shop on the corner
Hey come on by and listen to my song

Just come back by and listen to our song

I also heard that Del played you a few nights at the Ryman back when he was with Monroe
