Lyrics

Black diamond strings This Black diamond strings Drinkin' 1 W. Harper Playin' black diamond strings Black diamond strings Are like white flour and grits You play black diamond strings 'Cause it's all you can get Black diamond strings on a catalog guitar That's pretty high cotton, whoever you are You break one, you change one, that's as good as it gets You can play all year long on two or three sets J.W. Crowell was a hell of a man He played two nights a week in a hillbilly band He played at the Ice House on Telephone Road And he played in the yard just to lighten his load Black diamond strings Oh, black diamond strings Drinkin' 1 W. Harper Playin' black diamond strings Black diamond strings Are like white flour and grits You play black diamond strings 'Cause it's all you can get Say hey, J.W, come on play that frogline Let Old Rodney sit in, hell, he's goin' on nine His fingers are bleedin', but he's keepin' good time Playin' black diamond strings and he'll never quit tryin' And I calls it, she told 'em both She said, "You boys pack it up, it's time to go home We got church in the mornin', man, it's comin' up dawn Now don't make me say it again or I'm gone You can stay here forever, but you'e gonna walk home" Black diamond strings Oh, black diamond strings Drinkin' 1 W. Harper Playin' black diamond strings Black diamond strings Are like white flour and grits You play black diamond strings 'Cause it's all you can get Black diamond strings Oh, black diamond strings Drinkin' 1 W. Harper Playin' black diamond strings Black diamond strings Are like white flour and grits You play black diamond strings 'Cause it's all you can get
