Hank

They say Hank was a mighty heavy drinker I don’t know

They say Hank was a mighty heavy thinker I recon that’s so

All the songs he wrote

Everything he said they didn’t come from a light thinkers head

Some say whiskey wrecked Hank’s health but they don’t know

They say Hank sung a real good song and I’ll say; ‘He did.’

Cause he opened up his heart and

He poured out the soul that most of the folks keep hid

Long as I live, I never forget he’s the first singer that I ever met

They say he is the greatest one yet I don’t know

But I wouldn’t be surprised at all, if that ain’t so

They tell me Hank he ain’t much on looks I don’t know

Lord, I seen his picture in lots of song books but I still don’t know

They say he was weak for the women and wine and

He looked plumb heartsick all the time

His songs put goose bumps right on my spine

That’s all I know

They say Hank sung a real good song and I’ll say; ‘He did.’

Because he opened up his heart and

He poured out the soul that most of the singers always keep hid yes he did

Long as I live I’m gonna regret I can’t remember him singing me to bed

They say he is the greatest one yet I don’t know

But I wouldn’t be surprised at all, if that ain’t so

No, I won’t

I won’t be surprised at all, if that ain’t so
