His daughter talk about her's dad and singing His hit Tennessee Flat Top Box.

Lyrics:

In a little cabere

In a south texas boarder town

Sat a boy and his guitar

And the people came from all around

And all the girls

From there to Austin

Were slippin' away from home

And puttin' jewlery and hopped to take the trip

To go and listen

To the little dark-haired boy who played the

Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

Well he couldn't ride or wrangle

And he never cared to make it down

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 fasinated

By the little dark-haired boy who played the

Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

Then one day he was gone

And no one ever saw him 'round

He vanished like the breeze

They forgot him in the little town

But all the girls

Still dreamed about him

And hung around

The cabere until the doors were locked

And then one day

On the hit parade

Was the little dark-haired boy who played the

Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

Waylon, Cash, Kris, I go back and forth with these great men. I love them all but when I hear Roseanne sing this, esp the intro it makes me realize these were real people...and then I fall apart.

There is a story that Rosanne was casting around to find a set of songs to record in the vein of her fathers music and settled on this selection. She made the recording and later told her father about having covered it, only to find out that he had recorded it some 40 years earlier. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

My dear, sweet Lord ... if The Man had come & gone with the desert wind yet left just this one little girl to say what she is saying, he would of been a saint to the eyes of the misbegotten as well as those with a heart to see ...oh, but my god, he is so much more & so is she & so are we because of them ... thank you so much for providing us with this light, whoever you may be .....
