Black Diamond Strings Lyrics & Chords By Guy Clark

Black Diamond Strings
This Black Diamond Strings
Drinkin? 1 W. Harper
Playin? Black Diamond Strings
Black Diamond Strings
Are like white flour and grits
You play Black Diamond Strings
? Cause it? s all you can get
Black Diamond Strings on a catalog guitar
That? s pretty high cotton whoever you are
You break one you change one, that? s as good as it gets
You can play all year long on two or three sets
J.W. Crowell was a hell of a man
He played two nights a week in a hillbilly band
He played at the Ice House on Telephone Road
And he played in the yard just to lighten his load
Black Diamond Strings
Oh, Black Diamond Strings
Drinkin? 1 W. Harper
Playin? Black Diamond Strings
Black Diamond Strings
Are like white flour and grits
You play Black Diamond Strings
? Cause it? s all you can get
Say hey, J.W, come on play that frogline
Let Old Rodney sit in, hell, he? s goin? on nine
His fingers are bleedin?, but he? s keepin? good time
Playin? Black Diamond Strings, and he? ll never quit tryin?
And I causette she told? em both
She said, "You boys pack it up, it? s time to go home
We got church in the mornin?, man, it? s comin? up dawn
Don? t make me say it again or I? m gone
You can stay here forever, but you? re gonna walk home"
Black Diamond Strings
Oh, Black Diamond Strings
Drinkin? 1 W. Harper
Playin? Black Diamond Strings
Black Diamond Strings
Are like white flour and grits
You play Black Diamond Strings
? Cause it? s all you can get
Black Diamond Strings
Oh, Black Diamond Strings
Drinkin? 1 W. Harper
Playin? Black Diamond Strings
Black Diamond Strings
Are like white flour and grits
You play Black Diamond Strings
? Cause it? s all you can get
