作词 : Kirchen | |
Well, they put six strings on a maple stick, | |
Stuck it on a slab of ash, | |
Sold one to Luther, threw in a pick, | |
Sent him out with Johnny Cash. | |
Now, could Leo Fender and the gang have known | |
At the factory in Fullerton? | |
That the honky twang of the Telecaster tone | |
Would outlast 'em, every one. | |
(Chorus:) | |
It's got a plush-lined case, | |
It's all up in your face, | |
It's your thunderin' lightning rod - | |
It was born at the junction of form and function - | |
It's the hammer of the honky-tonk gods, | |
It's the hammer of the honky-tonk gods! | |
(bridge - Telecaster break) | |
You got Buck and Don, Merle and Roy, | |
Muddy and the Iceman, too, | |
Bryant, Bert, Roy, Danny, and Redd, | |
Why, that's Redd with two 'D's to you. | |
Well, there's Waylon and Keith, | |
'Bout off th' top of my head, | |
Chrissie, Cropper and the Boss, | |
Why, if Johnny B Goode had one, he would | |
Up in the St. Louis Telecaster, hoss. | |
(repeat Chorus (variations)) | |
You've (She's) got your (a) plush-lined case, | |
An' all (All) up in your face, | |
She's your (ya) thunderin' lightning rod - | |
(Well it was) Born at the junction of form and function - | |
It's the ('e) hammer of the honky-tonk gods, | |
It's the hammer of the honky-tonk gods! | |
(repeat Chorus) |
