Now, I`m a guitar picker, musician is my trade
A full fledged union member, The Lord knows where all I played
The other day I left my things in the truck of my old car
Would you beleave some dirty dog stole my steel guitar
Refr: It`s just an old used Sho Bud for which I saved and scraped
I bought it second handed from a cat who`s name was Drake
I loved it like a woman, I cherried every wire
I`ll kill that man who`s sticky hand cramped on my steel guitar
I babied every wire and polished them each day
I had the only Sho Bud in Podunc, Idohe ( Idaho)
I was king with all them women, they wrote from near and far
But the mail is sure been droppin`off, since they stole my steel guitar
Refr.: It`s just an old used Sho Bud
(instrumental duel by Jimmy and Buddy )
I could sound like Roy Wiggins, Don Helms and sound okey
I could play ol` Danny Boy, almost like Jimmy Day
Then when I played like Emmons, it nearly cought on fire
And I can play no hot licks now, they stole my steel guitar
Refr.: It`s just an old used Sho Bud
