I'm just a two bit picker
Goin from town to town
Ain't nobody ta miss me
When I ain't around
One day it will be over
So I just got to say
You can have my old guitar
Only if you can play

Play a song for my momma
Play one for my dad
Take care of my guitar
It's the best friend I had

I'm just a two bit picker
No spotlight for me
Playing on the corner
For drinkin money
Someday there'll be
Another pine box for me
So you can have my first love
If you'll love her for me

Play a song for this old soul
Play one that ain't to sad
Take care of my guitar
It's the best friend I had

And when your time is come
Won't you do the same
We'll live on in her music
Like an eternal flame
Find another picker
And just hand her down
And go on to eternity
While they play another round

They'll play a song for you
And then play one for me
They'll love her like we did
In perfect harmony
