Lyrics:

In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town

Sat a boy and his guitar

And the people came from miles around

And all the girls from there to Austin

Were slipping away from home and putting jewelery in hock

To take the trip, to go and listen

To the little dark-haired boy

That played the Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle

And he never cared to make a dime

But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time

And all the girls from nine to ninety

Were snapping fingers, tapping toes

And begging him don't stop

And hypnotized and fascinated

By the little dark-haired boy

That played the Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him around

He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town

But all the girls still dreamed about him

And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked

And then one day on the Hit Parade

Was a little dark-haired boy

That played the Tennessee flat top box

And he would play...
