When Papa Played The Dobro - Lester Flatt/Earl Scruggs

作词：Johnny Cash

作曲：Johnny Cash

My papa was a hobo

When they delivered me

We didn't have a doctor

'Cause he couldn't pay the fee

But when the goin' got too bad

To ease his misery

Now papa played the dobro

This way

And he'd go

When company would come around

He kept the dobro hid

He knew he couldn't play

The way the other players did

But the guitar's resonator

Was a gallon bucket lid

But papa played the dobro

This way

And he'd go

Well now that papa's gone away

It's hanging by the flue

The top of it is busted and

The strings are rusty too

It will never sound

The way it did when it was new

When papa played the dobro

This way

And he'd go

And he'd go pam pam
