This worn out old six-string has sure been a good friend It's never let me down, when my heart's on the mend It's always willing to play one more song I feel a sad one coming on Some dingy old barroom is where he used to turn Till the bottle was empty, man that whisky would burn The life of the party, till his friends were all gone I feel a sad one comin' on Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones Keep pourin' me something real strong Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side Since the king of broken hearts died And I feel a sad one comin' on Oh, the love of a woman, it saved Jones' life He put down the bottle, and he made her his wife He'd tear your heart out, when he sang a song And I feel a sad one comin' on
