Lyrics: The Old Calahan

Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue I was playing that old time blues The blues of old Calahan Well he was born in Kentucky, far away He would be soon the famest man Kentucky ever knew (everybody now) I took my guitar and my old country fiddle Played me a song of the old Calahan He once was a star in the days of the union We all know him as the old Calahan (come on now) Well he was poor with no penny to his name There was sorrow and there was pain But no one was to blame He went to town, just a guitar in his hands He made fortune and he got fame At last he made the grade (everybody now) I took my guitar and my old country fiddle Played me a song of the old Calahan He once was a star in the days of the union We all know him as the old Calahan (play this song now) Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue I was playing that old time blues The blues of old Calahan So I can tell you wherever, my best friends When you're lonely, when you're blue Just play it like I do (and everybody once more) I took my guitar and my old country fiddle Played me a song of the old Calahan He once was a star in the days of the union We all know him as the old Calahan (woohoo) (yeahoo) We all know him as the old Calahan (come on everybody, sing it once more, yeah come on) I took my guitar and my old country fiddle Played me a song of the old Calahan He once was a star in the days of the union We all know him as the old Calahan
