That Old Beat-Up Guitar - Jerry Jeff Walker

Written by:Jerry Jeff Walker

Well I found her in a pawnshop

Somewhere up in Ohio

Where I guess some rounder came up short

Had to let her go

Cost me ninety dollars

But she's worth much more by far

I never had a better friend

Than that old beat up guitar

Didn't look like too much

Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe

But a lady has never faired as well

Who'd traveled through so much

Now she travels with me always

Through the alleys and bars

Songs I and friends I knew

They are a part of that guitar

At nights she was my pillow

Resting underneath the stars

Day and night I stayed alive

With that old beat up guitar

Didn't look like too much

Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe

But a lady she never faired as well

Who'd traveled through so much

She picked up the name of Angel

In an old New Orleans bar

Where a drunken poet drew one

On the top of that guitar

Old Dave Stovally marked her

Scratched the song right from his heart

Seems everyone that used her

Scarred that old beat up guitar

She didn't look like too much

Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe

But a lady she never faired as well

Who'd traveled through so much

A ramblin' man he has his troubles

Hanging on to all that he owns

In the years of travelin'

That guitar fell by the road

Then one night in Mexico

I stumbled into this bar

Angel smilin' from

The old beat up guitar

Well I took her from the wall

Ran my hands across the scars

Played again the old songs

Written on that guitar

Friends I've loved and lost

Many nights inside of a bar

Came back so clearly singing with

That old beat up guitar

Didn't look like too much

Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe

But a lady she never faired as well

Who'd traveled through so much

Now she travels with me always

Through the alleys and bars

Songs I and friends I know

A part of that guitar

Some nights she is my pillow

Sleeping underneath the stars

Day and night I stayed alive

With that old beat up guitar

Didn't look like too much

Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe

But a lady she never faired as well

Who'd traveled through so much
