Luke's Guitar
Lyrics and Songs by Stompin Tom - Go back

Twang Twang-adiddle dang a diddle danga twanga twanga twang twanga diddle dang
Another dang twang another dang twang another dang twang...
I've been married now for a year or more and my old guitar hangs by the door.
That woman of mine says "hock that Luke" cause your momma dear needs a brand new
suit.
Well I hocked my watch & I sold my dog & I pawned the gasoline stove
I hocked my ring and everything to keep that woman in clothes
I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots and I sold the family car-
But that woman of mine will be 109 before I hock my old guitar
Chorus:
Twang twanga diddle-
She went out one day last week I guess & she won't come back until I say yes-
In answer to her "hock that Luke" My old guitar for a swimmin suit-
That'll be the day when I pawn my heart like I pawned the gasoline stove
I hocked my ring and everything just to keep that woman in clothes
I even pawned a cat and I hocked my boots and I sold the family car-
But that woman of mine will be old and blind before I hock my old guitar...
Chorus:
If she don't come back I won't be sore cuz I don't give a hoot about her no more
A man gets tire of "hock that Luke!" That woman of mine's too bad to shoot.
Chorus:
Well I hocked my watch and I sold my dog & I pawned the gasoline stove
I hocked my ring and everything just to keep that woman in clothes-
I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots and I sold the family car-
But that woman of mine'll be in a box of pine before I hock my old guitar
Twang twanga diddle rahhhgtwanga twanga twang twanga diddle dang
Another dang twang and another dang twang
This song ain't over yet-
Still another dang twang and another dang twangand another dang twang....
