Sleepin’ On The Rope
A guitarist from Alabama, kept on giving, even whilst laying in the hot sun
Although he was taught the ropes, by the original Robbie Johnson
The young teenager named Lockwood, from Turkey Scratch
Was a maestro studio muso, but couldn’t lite a dry match
He never made the pop charts with the record paying folks
But a legend in the music scene, recording with other blokes
Still, some people like me, would chuck a silver nickel in a jukebox, for a wopp
In the beginning, most bands were sleepin’ on the rope.
