Down the line with the greats

Intro

It seems so long since I heard Hank Marvin play
That Telecaster was a gosh darn give away
Travelling light...is what he used to play

Now old Bert Weedon was a boogie man
The six five special's where he played his hand
And Duane Eddy was the king of twang
With Rebel Rouser and the whole sha-bang

It's fifty years since I heard Jimmy Rogers play
And young Merle Travis well he picked my blues away
And that pickin' style...is still around today

Instrumental


I've heard Les Paul was a genious in his time
And Luther Perkins walked with Johnny down the line
And I pick along...when I hear John Prine


Now Chester Atkins was the six string king
His boom-chucka rhythm made his guitar sing
He once made an album with the Sultan of swing
Now he can play blues or any old thing

They say Glen Campbell was the greatest session man
And Jerry Reed had some lightning in his hands
East bound and down...they rocked across this land
