Hey Mr ting-a-ling steel guitar man

Play me some lonesome as sad as you can

My baby has left me for some other man

Play on Mr ting-a-ling steel guitar man



Play me a song that will bring on the tears

Make me remember those beautiful years

Play me a picture of her if you can

Play on Mr ting-a-ling steel guitar man

[ steel ]

Play me the shadows of my lonely room

Cry like a whippoorwill lost in the gloom

I love her I miss her don't you understand

Play on Mr ting-a-ling steel guitar man



Hey Mr ting-a-ling steel guitar man...
