You know the guitar came to Europe with the gypsies 700 years ago

Spain brought the guitar to Mexico 400 years ago

U.S.A. picked a quarrel with Mexico and got Texas and California

And it also got the guitar and the guitar got us

It was Afro American people in the south

That worked out this way of playing it though

You know in Europe they usually play a guitar

But the Afro American peple worked out a way to play it

Just like a drum band

The base strings were played by a thumb with a steady beat

And the top strings were played

With the finger and got all the little off beats

Up in Syracuse there
