Yellow Guitar Songtext
von Kate Campbell

I saw a man
With a yellow guitar
Standing
By the side of the road
Through the steam
Coming off the tar
Posing
Like some delta ghost
The sun was rising
It was shining
Halfway to Memphis
Halfway to Tupelo


There was a man
With a yellow guitar
Standing
By the side of the road
I shouldn′t have
Let him in my car
But his axe
Is what I had to hold
The sun was high then
It was frying
Halfway to Memphis
Halfway to Tupelo

I only stopped
Because I'd never seen
So bright
A beautiful thing
My only want my only need
Was to hear it sing

There was this man
With a yellow guitar
Standing
By the side of the road
I knew
That I was being charmed
By an angel or the devil
I don′t know
The sun was dying
I was crying
Halfway to Memphis
Halfway to Tupelo
