The Old Calahan “Live” Songtext
von BZN

Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue
I was playing that old time blues
The blues of old Calahan
Well, he was born in Kentucky, faraway
He would be soon the famest man, Kentucky ever knew
Everybody now

I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
Played me a song of the old Calahan
He once was a star in the days of the union
We all know him as the old Calahan
Come on now

Well, he was poor with no penny to his name
There was sorrow and there was pain
But no one was to blame
He went to town, just a guitar in his hands
He made fortune and he got fame
At last, he made the grade
Everybody now


I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
Played me a song of the old Calahan
He once was a star in the days of the union
We all know him as the old Calahan
Play this song right now

Last night when I felt so lonely, and so blue
I was playing that old time blues
The blues of old Calahan
So, I can tell you wherever, my best friends
When you′re lonely, when you're blue
Just play it like I do
Everybody once more

I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
Played me a song of the old Calahan
He once was a star in the days of the union
We all know him as the old Calahan

(Ooh-ooh)
(We all know him as the old Calahan)
Come on, everybody, sing it once more, yeah, come on

I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
Played me a song of the old Calahan
He once was a star in the days of the union
We all know him as the old Calahan
