Johnny Cash When Papa Played The Dobro Lyrics

When Papa Played The Dobro lyrics

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



Papa played the dobro this a way and he'd go



[ dobro ]



When company would come around he kept the dobro hid



He knew he couldn't play the way the other players did



Why the guitar's resonator was a gallon bucket lid

But papa played the dobro this a way and he'd go



[ dobro ]



Well now that papa's gone away it's hanging by the flue



The top of it's rusted and the strings're rusty too



It won't ever sound the way that it did when it was new



When papa played the dobro this a way and he'd go



[ dobro ]
