MY OLD GIBSON GUITAR
(Alex Campbell)

Some people say I don't work boys,
My life is all leisure and ease,
And it's true that I ramble around, boys
Drink whisky and do as I please
Yet I've worked all over this country
Know most of the jobs that there are
But I like best to sing you my folk songs
And play my old Gibson guitar

Well, I have worked on a farm, boys
I've helped to forest the hill
I've been a white-collar worker, boys
In a factory, I've worked with a will
Yes, I've worked all over this country
And I've even worked in a bar,
But I like best to sing you my folk songs
And play my old Gibson guitar.

I don't have much education, boys,
So politics aren't for me
I just want a life for my family boys
In a world where they're equal and free
I hope for a great day that's coming
Without hatred and killing and war
And perhaps I might even be helping
As I play my old Gibson guitar.


Alex played it in E A and B7

It sounds a lot like Rosin the Beau
