Round Hole Guitar

Well, I always wanted to be a star
So I bought me a big round hole guitar
All of my friends said, "you'll go far!"
A-pickin' that big round hole guitar

Well, I learned to pick, I learned to sing
I tried to make myself a name
I travelled near, and I travelled far
Just a-pickin' that big round hole guitar
Pickin' that big round hole guitar

But I wound up workin' in the local bar
Pickin' that big round hole guitar
The pay wasn't much, but the drinks were free
A lotta little pretty girls smilin' at me

From nine to one, I earned my dough
I really gave them folks a show
I'll make it yet; I'm gonna be a star
Just a-pickin' that big round hole guitar
Pickin' that big round hole guitar

Well, I practiced each and every day
I knew every song on the hit parade
I learned ever' lick and trick there are
Just a-pickin' that big round hole guitar

And some day soon, you'll wait and see
Some talent scalper'll discover me
I'll ride around in a big long car
Just a-pickin' that big round hole guitar
Pickin' that big round hole guitar

But I'm still here a-workin' in the same old bar
Pickin' that big round hole guitar
The pay's still low, the drinks are still free
Got the same little pretty girls smilin' at me

A-but my break's gonna come, and soon I know
I might even get a network TV show
I'll make it yet; I'm gonna be a star
Just a-pickin' that big round hole guitar
Pickin' that big round hole guitar
