Luke's Guitar (Twang, Twang)

Twang twang a-diddle dang a diddle danga

Twang-a twang-a twang a-diddle dang another dang twang

Another dang twang, another dang twang

I've been married now for a year or more

And my old guitar hangs by the door

That woman of mine says, hock that, Luke

'Cause your mama dear needs a brand new suit

Well, I hocked my watch and I sold my dog

And I pawned the gasoline stove

I hocked my ring and everything

Just to keep that woman in clothes

I even pawned the cat and I hocked my boots

And I sold the family car

Well, that woman of mine will be a hundred and nine

Before I hock my old guitar

Twang twang a-diddle dang a diddle danga

Twang-a twang-a twang, twang a-diddle dang another dang twang

Another dang twang, another dang twang

She went out one day last week, I guess

And she won't come back until I say yes

In answer to her, hock that, Luke

My old guitar for a swimming suit

That'll be the day when I pawn my heart

Like I pawned the gasoline stove

I hocked my ring and everything

Just to keep that woman in clothes

I even pawned the cat and I hocked my boots

And I sold the family car

But that woman of mine will be old and blind before I hock my old guitar

Well, that woman of mine will be old and blind

Before I hock my old guitar

Twang twang a-diddle rahr like a fanga fanga

Twang twang a-diddle dang another dang twang

Another dang twang, another dang twang

If she don't come back, I won't be sore

'Cause I don't give a hoot about her no more

A man gets tired of, hock that, Luke

That woman of mine's too bad to shoot

And I'll hock my watch and I sold my dog

And I pawned the gasoline stove

I hocked my ring and everything

Just to keep that woman in clothes

I even pawned the cat and I hocked my boots

And I sold the family car

But that woman of mine'll be in a box of pine before I hock my old guitar!

Well, that woman of mine will be in a box of pine

Before I hock my old guitar

Twang twang a-diddle rahr like a fanga fanga

Twang twang a-diddle dang another dang twang

Another dang twang, another dang twang

This song ain't over yet

Still another dang twang and another dang twang

And another dang twang and another dang twang

And another dang twang and another dang twang...
