The False Hearted Tenor Waltz

(앨범: Nobody Knows What You Do - 1976)

False-hearted tenor
My false-hearted tenor, falsetto so high
I watch all your dobros as they slide on by
My person is lonely I think it's because
My voice is not high and real thin like a saw
What would really be slick now if I learned how to sing
But they tell me to pick now 'cause that is my thing

It's genu-un-settle (wrong words) a voice without heart
I'm out in the meadow and I can't find my part
Just because I quit smoking and sit on a stool
And sing all them love songs like any dam fool
Remember the tenor when we render this waltz
I pick on a fender in a tenor that's false

In my highest falsetto I can't sing this high
But I dam sure would like to and that's why I try
My voice is as much as two pitches too low
When I want to get high and get up like Munroe
But me no soprano without any pause
Just a jug-throated croaker in a tenor that false
