Six-String Tennessee Flat Top Video (MV)

Written by V. Stovall and B. Palmer

Recorded by Hank Snow



Well let me hear the sound of the Tennessee flat top

Ringin' off of the wall

Behind the ice water tones of a steel guitar

And a country fiddle walkin' tall

Let the drums and bass set a honky tonk pace

In every country song you sing

And let me hear that six string Tennessee flat top

Grand ole open hole ring



Let it ring out fine in a song about why

A cheatin' heart had caused some pain

About a black land farm, a pair of pretty arms

Or the whistle of a midnight train

Well country songs don't turn me on

Or send the blood a-rushin' through my veins

Unless I hear that six string Tennessee flat top

Grand old open hole ring



Well the bluegrass sound took a ride uptown

On the back of open hole rhythm

And all the big country stars wouldn't be where they are

Without the help that old flat top give 'em

Now I may be behind time but I know my own mind

Make my country music plain

And let me hear that six string Tennessee flat top

Grand old open hole ring



Well the bluegrass sound took a ride uptown

On the back of open hole rhythm

And all the big country stars wouldn't be where they are

Without the help that old flat top give 'em

Now I may be behind time but I know my own mind

Make my country music plain

And let me hear that six string Tennessee flat top

Grand old open hole ring

Let me hear that six string Tennessee flat top

Grand old open hole ring
