Black Diamond Strings

My first guitar was a loaner, an old off brand my cousin let me keep Back when I was learning how to play like the boys in Tennessee I?d sit up every night and pick it until my fingers turned green Hell I learned how to make her talk on these Black Diamond Strings Well Daddy showed me three chords but Jimmy Steele taught me how to play He showed me the run I?m still using today I thought it surely must be magic the way he made it ring But he said it ain?t no secret son, It?s these Black Diamond Strings. Well I don?t know if they still make ?em, back then they were the best. A good time didn?t cost much, two ninety five a set Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream. All it took to make me happy was an old guitar and Black Diamond Strings. Now I?ve been to the mountain top; had my share of troubles too. But if I could do it all again, Lord I know just what I?d do Because if I could have just one wish I?d take a trip back in a time machine To the day I learned to play the Wildwood Flower on Black Diamond Strings Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream All it took to make me happy was this old box and Black Diamond Strings
