My papa was a hobo when they delivered me
We didn't have a doctor cause he couldn't pay the fee
But when the goin' got too bad to ease his misery
Papa played the dobro this a way and he'd go
[ dobro ]
When company would come around he kept the dobro hid
He knew he couldn't play the way the other players did
Why the guitar's resonator was a gallon bucket lid
But papa played the dobro this a way and he'd go
[ dobro ]
Well now that papa's gone away it's hanging by the flue
The top of it's rusted and the strings're rusty too
It won't ever sound the way that it did when it was new
When papa played the dobro this a way and he'd go
[ dobro ]

The Johnny Cash version circa 1956 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/3/11
When I was very young, I heard this song on the Johnny Cash album titled "Ride this train".
It has many great songs on it, and would be worth your trouble to get the album.
My son found the D-D in a library in Fairfield county, ohio
Another Album | Reviewer: Marvin | 5/5/06
Papa played the dobro was also recorded and performed by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs back in the 60's. Uncle Josh (Buck Graves) played the Dobro with them then.
A great song heard by far too few people. | Reviewer: Jamie | 6/22/05
When Papa Played The Dobro appeared on only one album that I know of. It was the Blood Sweat & Tears (Bear Family) compilation album. Not only is it a great song, it's a great album. Like so many other songs written by Johnny this song is a reflection of his young childhood. Recalling how his dad would play his dobro (resonator guitar) for the family. And even though his father wasn't very good it was always a fine memory for the Man in Black. Following suit with the Johnny Cash style the song is musically simplistic but an ultimately wonderful song.
