This guitar is for sale I’ll let her go cheap
She’s pretty to look at but she don’t earn her keep
She can roar like the west wind
She can weep, she can wail
But the tunes that she plays just ain’t sellin’ today
This guitar is for sale.
She lay close beside me on cold winter nights
She’s got me in trouble an’ she won me some fights
We both came out all right.
She knows all the sad songs that Hank ever wrote
Just touch her once gently an’ she’ll take you on home
She’ll tell you some stories ‘bout junk yards an’ jails
An’ the fool with a song an’ the dream that went wrong
This guitar is for sale.
She’s rode ‘cross the country on freight trains an’ trucks
Hung ‘round pawn shop windows when we’ve been down on our luck
We been down on our luck so please treat her kind, keep her out of the rain
It’s funny you’re askin’ I never gave her a name
But if you say she looks weary, you been readin’ our mail
So if you got the dough, buddy, take her an’ go
This guitar is for sale.
She’s won me some ladies with her sweet lovin’ songs
An’ she stuck right here with me when the ladies were gone
And the ladies are gone
But hard times and trouble been doggin’ our tail
So if you got the dough, buddy, take her an’ go
This guitar is for sale.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
