OLDER THE VIOLIN THE SWEETER THE MUSIC

OLDER THE VIOLIN THE SWEETER THE MUSIC
by Hank Thompson
writer Curly Putman
 
C                                                          G7
It seems you think that forty-five is just a little too old now 
                                           C
But I’m not ready yet to be put out in the cold now 
                                                    G7
I got plenty of good love left woman if you’ll just use it 
                                              C
You know the older the violin the sweeter the music 
 
                      G7
And I can play a symphony of love 
                                      C
Like a thousand violins singing from above 
                                                    G7
You’re gonna really miss my loving one day when you lose it 
                                              C
You know the older the violin the sweeter the music 
 
                                                            G7
These specks of gray that’s in my hair just make me look distinguished 
                                                    C
They don’t mean I’m over the hill baby I’m not extinguished 
                                                                      G7
There’s plenty of young girl’s waiting for my love honey they won’t refuse it 
                                               C
They know the older the violin the sweeter the music
