A Three String Is Not Just For Christmas1.My son came to me, as I put up the tree, said "dad, can we have a talkThat Fender last year, that cost you so dear, helped me play some Chuck Berry RockBut I hear old train whistles calling, I can hear those old drifters singEvery time you play your old "dogbowl" guitar, and I'm wondering what this Christmas, -this Christmas may bring2.I said " son, you don't need to go fishing, if its a three string you're wanting this timeIts a present that's cheap, won't make my pay packet weep, and I'll build it with steel or with pineBut a three string is often life changing, or so I hear some people saySo before I build you your own three string , there's someting that I want to sayChorusA three string is not just for Christmas, a three string , it is for lifeIt can touch on your soul, and make history rollYou've got to cherish her just like a wifeA three string is not just for Christmas, it will share your days and your nightsIt will make your heart want to sing a song, that will put this old world to rights3. Well I built my son his own three string, he played it near all Christmas dayHe played it at night, and by next morning's light, he was still strumming awayHe tried a little bit of "slidin", I could hear the blues there and I smiledAnd someday his own son might say "dad can we talk?", and he'll say "son, just just listen, -just listen awhileChorusA three string is not just for Christmas, a three string , it is for lifeIt can touch on your soul, and make history rollYou've got to cherish her just like a wifeA three string is not just for Christmas, it will share your days and your nightsIt will make your hands want to play a song, that will put this old world to rights
