| 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 |
