Lyrics

ANGELS TO THE BOW LEND A HAND
 > > > >Words by: Clement J. Gareau > > > >
My daddy built instruments 
People would come from far 
To string his hand made violins 
And to marvel at his guitars 
He taught me to love them 
 How to fix those ole cracks 
 To add coats of shellac 
They were classic in the land

Chorus: 
I loved to string the guitar 
I thought it sure had a ring 
But Daddy  said son play the violin 
You sure can make it sing  
But I was a teenager 
Who did not understand 
The guitar is a girl's/boy’s wonder 
But angels to the bow lend a hand 

I'd go to the corner bar 
And they'd ask me to play 
I'd reach for my ole guitar 
And would sing right away 
As soon as I stopped singing 
I'd have to play my violin 
They'd say if you keep playing 
Our souls you're sure to win
