Black Diamond Strings
www.larrycordle.com
My first guitar was a loaner, an old off brand my cousin let me keep
Back when I was learning how to play like the boys in Tennessee
I’d sit up every night and pick it until my fingers turned green
Hell I learned how to make her talk on these Black Diamond Strings
Well Daddy showed me three chords but Jimmy Steele taught me how to play
He showed me the G run I’m still using today
I thought it surely must be magic the way he made it ring
But he said it ain’t no secret son, It’s these Black Diamond Strings.
Well I don’t know if they still make ‘em, back then they were the best.
A good time didn’t cost much, two ninety five a set
Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream.
All it took to make me happy was an old guitar and Black Diamond Strings.
(Break)
Now I’ve been to the mountain top; had my share of troubles too.
But if I could do it all again, Lord I know just what I’d do
Because if I could have just one wish I’d take a trip back in a time machine
To the day I learned to play the Wildwood Flower on Black Diamond Strings
(Chorus)
Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream
All it took to make me happy was this old box and Black Diamond Strings
