Tennessee Flat Top Box-Johnny Cash cover by J.R. Shatzeline
For this song I used a karaoke backingtrack and I added the tracks: boomchick guitar and acoustic rhythm guitar.
Hope you`ll enjoy !
Thanks for watching !
J.R.
Here are the lyrics: Tennessee Flattop Box :
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town,
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from miles around.
And all the girls from there to Austin,
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelery in hock.
To take the trip, to go and listen,
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.

Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time.
And all the girls from nine to ninety,
Were snappin` fingers, tappin` toes, and beggin` him: "Don't stop."
And hypnotized and fascinated,
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.


Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round,
He'd vanished like the breeze, and they forgot him in the little town.
But all the girls still dreamed about him.
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
And then one day on the Hit Parade,
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.

  • gday JR this is brilliant great work mate love it have a great safe week my friend .peace outlaw yogi.

  • JR, I love your music and you are great at singing any song. I was really sad to see you have taken a bunch of your videos off and won't be uploading any more. But whatever the reason it sure isn't because you didn't sing them well. I wish you all the nest and will miss your singing.
