Hank Williams | Everything's Okay | /h/hank+williams/everythings+okay_20064119.html | I went to the country just the other day
To see my uncle Bill and sorta pass the time away
I asked him how he'd been since last, I'd passed his way
He rubbed his chin, here's what he had to say
My wife's been sick, the young ones, too
And I'm darn near down with the flu
The cow's gone dry and them hens won't lay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died
The bees got mad and they left the hive
The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The porch rotted down that's more expense
The darned old mule he tore down the fence
The mortgage is due and I can't pay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans
The darn rabbits they got the turnip greens
And my ma-in-law just moved in to stay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
My land's so poor so hard and yeller
You have to set on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbreller
And it rains out here nearly every day
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The wells gone dry and I have to tote the water
Up from the spring about a mile and a quarter
My helper, he quit for the lack of pay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The house it leaks it needs a new top
When it rains it wets everything we got
The chimney fell down just yesterday
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The corn meals gone and the meat's run out
Got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse
The preacher's comin' Sunday to spend the day
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
The canned stuffs spoiled else the jar's got broke
And all we got left is one old Billy goat
We're gonna have a new baby about the first of may
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
My crop it rotted in the ground
I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down
But we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days
So after all, everything's in pretty good shape

Hank Williams | Family Tradition | /h/hank+williams/family+tradition_20818843.html | Country music singers
Have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolk
Have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because
I kinda changed my direction
And Lord, I guess I went
And broke their family tradition
They get on me want to know
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out
The songs that you wrote?
Over and over
Everybody met my prediction
So if I get stoned I'm just carryin'
On an old family tradition
I am very proud
Of my daddy's name
Although his kind of music
And mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over
Put yourself in my position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tradition
So don't ask me
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out
The songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky tonk
Some old slicks trying to give my friction
I say leave me alone I'm singin' all night long
It's a family tradition
Lordy, I have loved some ladies
And I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in 1973
When my doctor asked me
"Son, how'd you get in this condition?"
I said "Hey sawbones, I'm just carryin' on
An old family tradition"
So don't ask me
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out
The songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over
Try to put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tradition

Hank Williams | First Year Blues | /h/hank+williams/first+year+blues_20064121.html | Written by ernest tubb 1941. Rec. By E. T. 11-17-41
Key ddemo recorded by hank williams, probably 1949.
(d) now I've been married about six months,
Only six (d7) months you (g) see,
The (a7) first three months, was all ok,
But the last three is killin (d) me,
My wife began her hissin, cut down on her kissin,
And then she failed to (d7) shine my (g) shoes,
My (a7) shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled,
And then I took the first year (d) blues.
(d) well then she started naggin,
She left the sink asaggin,
With dishes (d7) piled up (g) high,
No (a7) food upon the table, she said if she was able,
Shed cook something bye and (d) bye,
Then I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder,
When I (d7) said I (g) do, she (a7) must have read my thinkin,
Her eyes began to blinkin and that gal broke in -(d) - to.
(d) well I heard the dishes crashin,
And I began to dashin, gettin (d7) out of (g) sight,
For (a7) right there was my honey,
On who I'd spent my money, turnin into dy - na - (d) - mite,
Then after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded,
And things began to (d7) simmer (g) down,
I (a7) found myself ableedin, and very much aneedin,
Of stitches taken all a - (d) - round.
(d) well then she started cryin, I felt myself asighin,
And then I took her (d7) in my (g) arms,
I (a7) was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her,
She didn't do a bit of (d) harm,
Now the first six months is over, and I am much the older,
And experienced (d7) with a (g) wife,
If (a7) I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed,
To take it the rest of my (d) life.

Hank Williams | Fly Trouble | /h/hank+williams/fly+trouble_20064122.html | Did you ever sit straight up in bed
With somethin' a circlin' round ya head
An ya swat at it as it wizzes by
And it's just one pesky little fly
You shake ya head an twitch ya nose
And settle down to sweep ya floors
And when ya just about to dose, fly trouble
Buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little fly
Buzz buzz buzz he's takin' off an hide
You roll the paper up nice and tight
And wait around for him to light
But theirs a fly that's a liven right
Buzz buzz buzz
Now the toughest hide grows on a mule
Cause he's a bulky stubborn fool
He likes to look at you and glare
An never even move a hair
But when his muscles start to twitch
An when his tail begins to swish
That mule ain't bothered with an itch...fly trouble
(chorus)buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little pest
buzz buzz buzz that mule can't get no rest
He shakes his head an bats his eye
An kicks his heels up to the sky
Did you ever see a jass ack cry
Buzz buzz buzz
Now you pick a perfect night in June
When flowers are bloomin' beneath the moon
And ya light of love is shinin' bright
An you tell ya self tonight's the night
Ya brace ya self an ya courage grows
An on ya knees where you would propose
When somethin' bights you on the nose, fly trouble
Buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little thing
Buzz buzz buzz you swat an loose the ring
You fan the air as he goes by
An stick ya finger in your eye
Hit everything except that fly
Buzz buzz buzz

Hank Williams | Half As Much | /h/hank+williams/half+as+much_20064084.html | If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Hank Williams | I AIN'T GONNA LOVE YOU ANYMORE | /h/hank+williams/i+aint+gonna+love+you+anymore_20630172.html | No need for you to set alone,
Just waiting by your telephone
Cause I ain't gonna call you any more.
Oh I gave you love and you broke my heart,
And you cheated on me from the start.
And now I ain't gonna love you any more.
[Chorus]
I mean I ain't gonna love you any more,
I know I couldn't love you as before.
So I'm gonna tell you goodbye,
Don't mind these tears there in my eyes
Cause I ain't gonna love you any more
My darlin' I just worship you,
And look what you have loved me through.
You left me with a heart so sick and sore.
Oh you're the one that was unfair,
It wasn't in you to play square.
And now I ain't gonna love you anymore.
[Chorus]

Hank Williams | I Can't Get You Off My Mind | /h/hank+williams/i+cant+get+you+off+my+mind_20064129.html | I can't get you off of my mind
When I try, I'm just wastin' my time
Lord, I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
Well, you think you would leave me behind
But I guess you're the good timin' kind
Do you think that it's smart to jump from heart to heart
When I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
When I try, I'm just wastin' my time
Lord, I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
You believe that a true love is blind
So you fool every new love you find
You've got stars in your eyes, but they can't hide the lies
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
When I try, I'm just wastin' my time
Lord, I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind

Hank Williams | I Can't Help It | /h/hank+williams/i+cant+help+it_10140338.html | Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.

Hank Williams | I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You | /h/hank+williams/i+could+never+be+ashamed+of+you_20064130.html | Everybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you 'round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together, we can find a brighter way
In my heart, I know that you'll come through
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you
All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you proved to be untrue
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you

Hank Williams | I Cried Again | /h/hank+williams/i+cried+again_20064131.html | Writer: autry inman
Artist: hank williams
Contributed by: felton hall
This song is hard to pick out on the copy I have. It is pretty scratchy
And a couple of the words I have for lyrics in here may be wrong but I
Think they are right. Email greg if you see a problem with it.
I cried again key: g
(g)teardrops (c)fell the night you (g)said
I love you dear but you are (d)wed
I (g)watched you (c)as you held his (g)hand
Then I turned (d)away and cried again
[Chorus:]
I (c) cried again when I reached (g)home
There sat your picture all a(d)lone
I (g)thought of (c)things that might have (g)been
I bowed my (d)head and cried a(g)gain
I took your letters from the shelf
Then read aloud just to myself
But just before I reached the end
I bowed my head and cried again
Chorus
And heres the reason why I say
Dear, I must throw your things away
For they would only bring me pain
And I'd bow my head and cry again
Chorus

Hank Williams | I Told A Lie To My Heart | /h/hank+williams/i+told+a+lie+to+my+heart_20064135.html | I told my heart, I didn't love you
That I'd be happy if we'd part
But now I know, I was mistaken
I told a lie to my heart
I told my heart, I didn't love you
Now we'll forever be apart
Lonely years of tears and sorrow
I told a lie to my heart
If we sin, somehow we pay
And now the bitter teardrops start
I must learn to live without you
I told a lie to my heart
I told my heart, I didn't love you
That I'll be happy if we'll part
Lonely years of tears and sorrow
I told a lie to my heart

Hank Williams | I'd Still Want You | /h/hank+williams/id+still+want+you_20064137.html | I could shame you 'til you hide your face
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could tell the world you're doin' wrong
That I was stringin' you along
And if it all were true
I know I'd still want you
This world with me might sympathize
When I got through with all my lies
But I'd be just as blue
'Cause my heart would still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could tell my friends I threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
If I said I'm happy to be free
The only one I'd fool is me
Because it isn't true
I know I'd still want you
What's the use to say that you're no good
When I'd crawl back if I could
No matter what you do
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could smile and say that I don't care
And then go home and pull my hair
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could say that someone put me wise
And get revenge by telling lies
But when I got all through
I know I'd still want you
If the things I said was to break your heart
I'd be the first to take your part
'Cause if all these lies were true
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord

Hank Williams | I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive | /h/hank+williams/ill+never+get+out+of+this+world+alive_20064063.html | your lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad
I had a lot a luck but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world alive
My fishin' pole's broke, the creek is full of sand,
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world alive
My distant uncle passed away
And left me quite a mess
And I was livin' high until the fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched.
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no how.
No matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world alive
These Shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it's heads or tails
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no how.
No matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world alive
No matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world alive

Hank Williams | I'm A Long Gone Daddy | /h/hank+williams/im+a+long+gone+daddy_20630152.html | All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and so I'm getting out
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow

That when I get a kiss I think that something's wrong
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right
You go get yourself a man that wants to fight
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
You start your jaws a-wagging and it never stops
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I remember back when you were nice and sweet
Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I'm a-gonna do some riding on the midnight train
I'm taking everything except my ball and chain
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow

Hank Williams | I'm Going Home | /h/hank+williams/im+going+home_20064140.html | I'm going home (just hank and his guitar circa 1950)
When my work here is o'er
And trials come no more
On that great day I'm going home
To live forever more, just o'er on heaven's shore
When my life here is o'er I'm going home
[Chorus:]
I'm going home, I'm going home
When my life here is o'er I'm going home
Won't it be so sweet, to rest at Jesus' feet
When my life here is o'er I'm going home
I'm traveling in the light
And my way is clear and bright
Some glad day I'm going home
Heading for the pearly gates for there my savior waits
When my life here is o'er I'm going home
As I travel down life's road
So heavy is my load
But some glad day I'm going home
I'll meet my loved ones there, in that land so bright and fair
When my life here is o'er I'm going home
[Chorus:]

Hank Williams | I'm Sorry For You, My Friend | /h/hank+williams/im+sorry+for+you+my+friend_20064144.html | You've known so long that you were wrong
But still you had your way
You told her lies and alibis
And hurt her more each day
But now your conscience bothers you
You've reached your journey's end
You're asking me for sympathy
I'm sorry for you, my friend.
You laughed inside each time she cried
You tried to make her blue
She tagged along through right and wrong
Because she worshiped you
You know that you're the one to blame
There's no use to pretend
Today's the day you start to pay
I'm sorry for you, my friend.
Today as she walked arm in arm
At someone else's side
It made you stop and realize
That time has turned the tide
You should have known you'd be alone
'cause cheaters never win
You tried and lost, now pay the cost
I'm sorry for you, my friend.

Hank Williams | It Just Don't Matter Now | /h/hank+williams/it+just+dont+matter+now_20630142.html | For years I've lived without a meaning
I've lost faith in dreams somehow
I'm so sick and tired of scheming
I guess it just don't matter now
All my life I've been a loser
It seems that fate has made a vow
That I will never know contentment
But it just don't matter now
Yes I knew the day I lost you
But could not face fact, somehow
And I knew just what it cost you
But it just don't matter now
All my heart has lost a feeling
That meant more to me than thou
And I will never say I blame you
Cause it just don't matter now

Hank Williams | I've Been Down That Road Before | /h/hank+williams/ive+been+down+that+road+before_20803382.html | Now friends if you'll just listen to me
You'll get some good hard earned advice
I don't aim to meddle in your business
Just trying to save ya an awful price
You see these teeth that I ain't got
And these knots on my bald head
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um'
There a lying home in bed
Now take the smart-aleck in any town
Of him folks want no part
He acts like his head was only
Made to hold his ears apart
Now he might not like what
I'm bout to say and my words
Might make him sore
But I'm just trying to be helpful
Cause I been down that road before
To bully folks and play mean tricks
Was once my pride and joy
Till one day I was toted home
And mama didn't know her little boy
My head was swelled up so doggone big
I couldn't get it through my front door
Now I ain't talking just ta hear myself
I been down that road before
A little fella about my size
Got tired of being pushed about
So he went to work and when he got through
He'd knocked everyone of my teeth out
One time to many I rubbed him wrong
And he even'd up the score
Now that's what happens when you
Get too big for your britches
I been down that road before
Now when you get to thinking your really smart
There's somebody smarter then you
And no matter how much you boast and brag
You can still learn a thing or two
Go get you some treatments just like I've had
And you wont hanker for more
I've really learned the meaning of living and loving
Cause I've been down that road before
Now the man that walks this rocky road
Usually gets just what he deserves
But he's just a helpless servant to
A master that he servers
Now I've learned to slow my temper down
And not to pick no scraps no more
Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes
Cause I've been down that road before.

The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just waitin' for the grass to turn green
The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark the hitchhiker's just waitin' for a

The lifetimer's waitin' for a prison break the beachcomber's waitin' for the

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman to take her into rown
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy to lay all his money down
You know everything comes to standstill nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
Now I reckon the early bird's waitin' for the worm
Nobody wants to do nothin' just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call for a big quiz show or a waitin' for some rich uncle to die
Katy she's waitin' at the garden gate the moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole and I guess Jack's still

Everybody's waitin' for something but nothing seems to turn out right
Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin' and the burglar he's just waitin'

Standing with all the angels on a golden stair
I thought I heard her whisper welcome home my boy
Last night I dreamed of Heaven and it filled my heart with joy
I heard the angels singing songs of peace and rest
And then there was a silence, each eye looked toward the west
There sat my Saviour on His golden throne
Last night I dreamed of Heaven, my eternal home sweet home
Last night I dreamed of Heaven that land so pure and sweet
And the joy within me made my glad heart weep
I was there with my Saviour free from grief and strife
Last night I dreamed of Heaven, the land of eternal life

Hank Williams | Lonesome Whistle | /h/hank+williams/lonesome+whistle_10140350.html | I was ridin' number nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid actin' smart
I went and broke my darlin's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When the evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked here in this cell
Till my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Hank Williams | Lovesick Blues | /h/hank+williams/lovesick+blues_20064091.html | I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord, since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do, all I do is sit and sigh "Oh Lord"
That last long day she said goodbye, well Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems, I've grown so used to you somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the love sick blues
Well I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't care about me
Lord I've tried and I've tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin', this is all I can say
I've got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord, since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do, all I do is sit and sigh, "Oh Lord"
That last long day she said goodbye, well Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'

He said, the trouble with you ain't in my book
I'll tell you what it is but it ain't good news
You've got an awful bad case of them low down blues
I've got the mean old miseries in my soul
I went to the river but the water's too cold
I've walked the floor till I've wore out my shoes
Lord, they're killin' me, I mean them low down blues
Lord, I never knew a man could feel so bad
I never knew livin' could be so sad
All I do is set and cry
Lord, I'd have to get better, before I could die
I've got the mean old miseries in my soul
I went to the river but the water's too cold
I've walked the floor till I've wore out my shoes
Lord, they're killin' me, I mean them low down blues

Hank Williams | Men With Broken Hearts | /h/hank+williams/men+with+broken+hearts_20260690.html | You'll meet many just like me upon lifes busy street.
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low and eyes that stare in defeat.
For souls that live within the past where sorrow plays all parts,
For a living death is all that's left for men with brokens hearts.
You have no right to be the judge, to criticize and condemn.
Just think but for the grace of God it would be you instead of him.
One careless step, a thoughtless deed and then the misery starts
And to those who weep death comes cheap, these men with broken hearts.
Humble you should be when they come passing by,
For it's written that the greatest of men never get to big to cry.
Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts,
With hope all gone, they walk alone these men with broken hearts.
You've never walked in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes,
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies.
Some were paupers, some were kings, some were masters of the arts,
But in their shame they're all the same, these men with broken hearts.
Life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death.
God why must these living dead know pain with every breath?
So help your brother along the road, no matter where he starts!
For the God that made you, made them too. These men with broken hearts!

Hank Williams | Message To My Mother | /h/hank+williams/a+message+to+my+mother_20064070.html | [Chorus]
Take this message to my mother
It will fill her heart with joy
Tell her that I've met my savior
God has saved her wand'ring boy.
The tears and sorrow I have caused her
How I wish I could re-pay
But tell her I'll be waiting for her
We'll meet in heaven some glad day.
How she cried when I left her
I know it filled her heart with pain
She said, son, please don't leave me
For we may never meet again.
[Chorus]
Years have passed since that parting
But I know she waits and prays
Soon I'll cross that dark river
Please let her know that I was saved.
[Chorus]

Hank Williams | Moanin' The Blues | /h/hank+williams/moanin+the+blues_20064092.html | When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin'
Moa-oanin' the blues.
I wrote a nice, long letter
Sayin' mama please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some
And all I [am] do is moan,
I been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must of been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin'
Moa-oanin' the blues.
If you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll moanin' moa-oanin' the blues.
Aw! baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good
And I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin' moa-oanin' the blues.

Hank Williams | Mother Is Gone | /h/hank+williams/mother+is+gone_20064158.html | In a little pine grove by the old home
There's someone who's restin' alone
And there on the the tomb, these words I read
The words were, 'Mother Is Gone'
Mother is gone to her home
Way up in Heaven above
And my heart's so sad
For the words I read there
The words were, 'Mother Is Gone'
As I stood alone with memories of home
The place I left long, long ago
I returned home but I waited too long
For the words read, 'Mother Is Gone'
My friends did say, before she went away
She called my name over and over
So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above
Over on that other shore
Mother is gone to her home
Way up in heaven above
And my heart's so sad
For the words I read there
The words were, 'Mother Is Gone'

Hank Williams | MY COLD, COLD HEART IS MELTED NOW | /h/hank+williams/my+cold+cold+heart+is+melted+now_20630118.html | My cold heart is melted now
Writer hank williams
My cold, cold heart is melted now
I seek for peace but don't know how
I go to bed but only weep
My cold, cold heart won't let me sleep
Your lonesome voice that seems to say
Your cold, cold heart will pay and pay
My tears pour down like falling rain
Through restless sleep I call your name
Perhaps someday beyond the blue
We'll meet sweetheart and live anew
Where cold, cold hearts can't enter in
We'll laugh and love, sweetheart, again
My cold, cold heart is melted now
My once proud head I humbly bow
Your lonely face in dreams I see
My cold, cold heart has told on me

Hank Williams | My Son Calls Another Man Daddy | /h/hank+williams/my+son+calls+another+man+daddy_20064162.html | Tonight my head is bowed in sorrow
I can't keep the tears from my eyes
My son calls another man daddy
The right to his love I've been denied.
My son calls another man daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
For another to be in my place.
Each night I laid there in prison
I pictured a future so bright
For he was the one ray of sunshine
That shone through the darkest of nights.
My son calls another man daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
For another to be in my place.
Today his mother shares a new love
She just couldn't stand my disgrace
My son calls another man daddy
And longs for the love he can't replace.
My son calls another man daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
For another to be in my place.
My son calls another man daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
For another to be in my place.

Hank Williams | My Sweet Love Ain't Around | /h/hank+williams/my+sweet+love+aint+around_20064163.html | Listen to the rain a-fallin'
Can't you hear that lonesome sound
Oh my poor old heart is breakin'
'Cause my sweet love ain't round
Lord I think I'll start to ramble
Got to leave this weary town
This old place is way too lonely
'Cause my sweet love ain't around
On that train tonight I'm leavin'
And don't ask me where I'm bound
I can't stay here any longer
'Cause my sweet love ain't around

Hank Williams | Never Again | /h/hank+williams/never+again_20286883.html | Oh you know that I've come back and we've tried it all over
But each time my dear, it was worse than before
Now my heart is broke, it's sad and it's sore
So never again will I knock on your door
Oh you know that I love you no other will do
Please tell me darlin' why can't you be true
But now you are gone, it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door
Someday you'll be so lonely and blue
Then you will know just how much I love you
But now you are gone, it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door
Many a night I've cried over you
Hoping and prayin' some day you'd be true
But now you are gone, it's over I know
So never again will I knock on your door
Oh you know that I love you no other will do
Please tell me darlin' why can't you be true
But now you are gone, it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door

Hank Williams | Next Sunday Darling Is My Birthday | /h/hank+williams/next+sunday+darling+is+my+birthday_20835626.html | Next Sunday, darling is my birthday
A day that should be free from care
Best wishes and congratulations
But only sorrow fills the air
While friends are singing happy birthday
There'll be smile upon my face
But when they're gone, the smile will vanish
A broken heart will take it's place
Another year has come and gone now
The plans I made have gone a stray
The day that should be filled with laughter
Will only be another day
The little house we planned together
Is empty now without you dear
But in my dreams you're there beside me
So let me dream that you are here

Hank Williams | No, Not Now | /h/hank+williams/no+not+now_20064167.html | Took my gal to the picture show, just the other day,
But when I tried to hold her hand,
Here's what she had to (e) say.
[Chorus]
No not now, (no not now), no not now, (no not now),
No not now, but maybe next week some how.
Walked my gal home to the door, and asked her for a kiss,
But she quickly turned away, and then she told me this.
[Chorus]
I asked my gal to marry me, reckon what she said,
She said I wouldn't marry you, if all the rest were dead.
[Chorus]
But she went and changed her mind, how I regret that day,
Cause every since I married her, here's all that she can say.
(You guessed it!)
[Chorus]
I stayed out too late last night, on a little spree,
And when I asked her to let me in, here's all she said to me.
(here's what she said)
[Chorus]

Hank Williams | Ready To Go Home | /h/hank+williams/ready+to+go+home_20064172.html | There's coming a day when the world shall melt away
And Jesus shall come to claim his own
No more tears no pain no woe in this wicked world below
Then will you be ready to go home
Will you be ready to go ready to go home to live with him up there round the
throne
When he says come unto me will your soul be claim and free
Then will you be ready to go home
In this world of greed and hate will you wait till it's too late
Too late to claim the Savior for your own
For he's coming someday to bear your soul away then will you be ready to go
home
Will you be ready to go,
Then will you be ready to go home

Hank Williams | Singing Waterfall | /h/hank+williams/singing+waterfall_20064176.html | There's a singing waterfall
In the mountains far away
That's where I long to be
At the close of everyday
That's where my sweetheart's sleepin'
Down beneath the clay
I often sit and wonder why
The Lord took her away
We'd meet there every evening
When the sun was sinkin' low
And we'd listen to the waters
As they rippled soft and low
And since she's gone to Heaven
I miss her most of all
Tonight my darlin's sleepin'
By the singing waterfall
Last night as I lay dreamin'
I heard my darlin' call
And then I went to meet her
By the singing waterfall
She took me in her arms
Just like she used to do
And then I heard her whisper
"We'll meet beyond the blue"
We'd meet there every evening
When the sun was sinkin' low
And we'd listen to the waters
As they rippled soft and low
And since she's gone to Heaven
I miss her most of all
Tonight my darlin's sleepin'
By the singing waterfall

Hank Williams | THERE'S NOTHING AS SWEET AS MY BABY | /h/hank+williams/theres+nothing+as+sweet+as+my+baby_20064196.html | I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
Golden hair and big blue eyes she could win a beauty prize
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
If I ever lose her I'll lay me down and die
If sugar seems sweet then you ought to meet
My honey coated sweetie pie
I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
I feel like a honey bee, when she's buzzing round with me
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
Got pounds of candy kisses, but I can't spare an ounce
She's sweeter than wine and brother she's mine
And that's the only thing that counts
I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sakes
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

Hank Williams | Wait For The Light To Shine | /h/hank+williams/wait+for+the+light+to+shine_20816264.html | When the road is rocky and you're carrying a load
Wait for the light to shine
If you find you're friendless on that weary lonesome road
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Pull yourself together and keep looking for the sign
Wait for the light to shine
Don't forget your brother as you travel through this land
Wait for the light to shine
He may be in trouble and may need a helping hand
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Never give up hope or cast your pearls and pour this wine
Wait for the light to shine
Don't let trouble fool you and your sin will all be gone
Wait for the light to shine
Don't forget its darkness just before the break of dawn
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Keep these words on your mind as you walk out narrow line
Wait for the light to shine

Will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,

Your cheatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away,
The time will come,

Will tell on you
When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart,

Cause all my rowdy friends are comin over tonight

Hey, honey, this is ole Hank, ready to get the thing started

You can do anything that you wanna do

And the dead of night is cruel.
And I recall all the things we done.
Ya know I'm always loving you.
Sometimes I think that my trains done gone.
The way all old things must do.
Yet I still wait for it's return,
Just like I still wait for you.
And I still hear that old whipperwill.
I've seen the ghost of the midnight train.
And I still love to walk alone,
Down by the old union station in the rain.
Now I don't know where you are tonight,
But I feel you across the miles.
Am I still standing there inside your mind,
Just behind a pretty smile.
Hey babe, can ya hear that old whipperwill?
Have ya seen the ghost on the midnight train?
Do you still love to go alone,
Down by the old union station in the rain?
Down by the old Montgomery station in the rain.

And I've seen the light
And I know the difference
Between wrong and right
But there still are times
When it's so hard to tell
If I'm going the wrong way
To heaven or hell
Cause I've been a sinner
And I've been a saint
There's a few things I ain't done
And a few things I can't
I was this close to heaven when I slipped and fell
Between a rock and a hard place
Between heaven and hell
Cause I have been lost
And I have been found
I've been a square
And I've been around
I'm down on my knees
At the heartbreak hotel
Begging for directions
Between heaven and hell
Cause I've been a sinner
And I've been a saint
There's a few things I ain't done
And a few things I can't
I was this close to heaven when I slipped and fell
Between a rock and a hard place
Between heaven and hell
Lord I'm down here on my knees
At some old hotel
Asking for directions
To heaven or hell

Big top women sure do bounce around

The steps of the courthouse make you go downtown
I had to get some new tags
My plates had done run out

And the tax assesor certainly left no doubt
That the big top women sure do bounce around
I love to see them walkin' up and down

Big tittie man get right down on the ground
Now the big top women sure do bounce around
I love to see them walkin' up and down
Steps of the courthouse
Make you wanna get a ticket and
Go downtown

This joint called the hot house

Went out on the Mojave with a twenty mule team
Ten tons of borax and a muleskinners dream
We'll soon be a-winin' and a-dinin' I know
With a cute little filly in the town of Reno
The Apaches are restless there's smoke in the sky
But I'm too old for scalpin' and I'm too young to die
But they'll soon be around us like ants on a hill
Bringin' this muleskinner up for the kill
(Here's where I can't remember much)
My mules started runnin' bring big twenty down
But we're still a-livin' so the story can be told
How I traded that borax for Apache gold

Hank Williams Jr. | Blood's Thicker Than Water | /h/hank+williams+jr/bloods+thicker+than+water_20837924.html | Death bells are ringing in Wichita town
Two brothers will meet when the sun's going down
Blood's thicker than water poor mother cry
Which son will live which son will die
Jimmy Laredo a man with a dream
Sent his young brother Johnny to old Abilene
To bring back his true love by name
Katy Lee the girl he attended his bride to be
The trip was along when they both came to know
That sometimes from friendship a sweet love would grow
He's bringing her back in a new weddin' gown
And there'll be a show down in Wichita town
Jimmy's not worried his six gun's tied down
And no one outdraws him in Wichita town
But can he do it can he kill his kin
Blood's thicker than water his, ma, cries again
The stage made it stop at the Last Chance Saloon
The crowd all stepped back to give both brothers room
Young Johnny stepped down there was fear in his eyes
But for lover pity he'd gladly die
They still tell the story to this very day
How their, ma, jumped between them when Jim made it play
She cried out in anguish oh sons are you blind
If you must take a life oh Lord let it be mine
Death bells are ringing in Wichita town
They mourn for a mother whose son's shot her down
And there in the Wichita's street where she lay
Blood's thicker than water her smile seemed to say

In a red mercedes
Driving down from her big house on the hill
With her mind on fire
For an old desire
And sweet memories bring on the tears
And that blue lady
Would give that red mercedes
All the money and big house so fine
Just to feel him touch her one more time
She's sewn and reeped
And now she's gotta sleep
In empty arms tonight
All night she's got her little paradise
But she's a lonely wife
If that old flame could burn again
Would it justify the sin
I think it would considering the shape her heart is in
And that blue lady
Would give that red mercedes
All the money and big house so fine
Just to feel him touch her one more time
Just to feel him touch her
Just to feel him touch her
Just to feel him touch her one more time

I'm living in a world of misery
Life ain't been peaches and cream for me
And I ain't smiled since I don't know when friend
Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin
Yes I know what it's like to love and loose

Your not the first to walk away and leave someone in pain.

Believe me I've been in your shoes and I know you can't stay.
I've been on both sides of goodbye. I know there ain't no easy side. I've
loved and I've been loved but not at the same time. I've been on both sides of
goodbye.
Don't feel so bad for doing what you've got to do.
You can't make your heart love me if it don't want to.
When love just don't work both ways and someones got to go.
So close that door and don't look back, believe me girl I know.
I've been on both sides of goodbye and I know there ain't no easy ride. I've
loved and I've been loved but not at the same time. I've been on both sides of
goodbye.
I've loved and I've been loved but not at the same time I've been on both
sides of goodbye,
goodbye!

Well if only you make up your mind
Take me where you go or just leave me here to pine
Lord you got those come and go blues woman you got those come and go blues
Got me feeling like a fool just like a fool
Round and round round to go
Don't ask me why I stay here cause I do know
Maybe I'm a fool to care baby without your sweet love I would be nowhere
Here I'll stay lost in your will until that day I find someone else
But I don't know just when that will be
I don't know I can't say and I can't see
Lord you got those come and go blues woman you got those come and go blues
Got me feeling like a fool just like a fool

Hank Williams Jr. | Endless Sleep | /h/hank+williams+jr/endless+sleep_20271657.html | The night was black, rain falling down
Look for my baby, she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for evermore
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' in deep
Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me
I looked at the sea
Ran in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breakers I saw her near
Reached for my darling, held her to me
Stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from that endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep

Hank Williams Jr. | Everything Comes Down To Money And Love | /h/hank+williams+jr/everything+comes+down+to+money+and+love_20336326.html | Sitting at the kitchen table Monday afternoon
House is so quiet
I spent the morning looking for a job
But the job markets pretty tight
And I'm wondering
Just what I'm gonna do
Someone to hold and the rent
I owe are long overdue
Seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life
It seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life
I'm used to having a woman around
Cooking for me and when I lay down to love
I got used to having a woman around
Looking to me to rise above
I've got a lonely heart, two open arms
And a pillow I never use
I know it ain't much to offer
But it's the best I can do
Seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life
I've loved a lot of good women
And I could sure love one now
I've had more than enough money
In my bank account
But where they went and how they got spent
Isn't really clear
They just left me here
And it all disappeared
Sitting in another office Tuesday morning
Application filled
I doubt they'll ever call me
But I can't keep from hoping that they will
I know I need to keep my chin up
But I'm telling you the truth
If there's no one else to live for
Is there anything left to lose?
It seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life
Seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life, in my life

Hank Williams Jr. | Everytime I Hear That Song | /h/hank+williams+jr/everytime+i+hear+that+song_20336572.html | I heard cowboys should never cry,
But there are some things that bring tears to my eyes.
Some old movies they've shown,
Some old people all alone,
And everytime I hear that song.
Everytime I hear that song,
I think of someone who is gone,
And the hurtin' starts comin' on real strong,
Everytime I hear that song.
What makes big old boys like me,
Get down on bended knee?
And today's girl who's moving ahead,
Stay at home all night crying in bed.
It's those old loves that linger on,
Just like some of those good old songs.
Everytime I hear that song,
I think of someone who is gone,
And the hurtin' starts comin' on real strong,
Everytime I hear that song.

Hank Williams Jr. | Eyes Of Waylon | /h/hank+williams+jr/eyes+of+waylon_21033711.html | When it comes to real rounders, there's only one
That was better than I was at havin' some fun
Now it's true he shows grey in his beard
Does that mean he's history, or is he a pillar and a peer
This music called country, somethin' we all make
No, it didn't just happen cause of the latest rage
Soon he was the biggest thing to come along in Nashville in those days
He sang his song called "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"
I don't know if he did or not but I sure know what I saw
The 1st triple platinum in that town was hanging on his wall
Radio will play him until the end of time
Because he's a real legend not the phony kind
And I looked in the eyes of Waylon
And there I saw things that I'd never seen before
I saw a father and a brother and a friend
I saw the nights we spent while out on the road
It's not the money, it's not the fame, it's not the ladies
And the eyes of Waylon just told me so
Yes, I looked in the eyes of Waylon
There I learned things that I better know
And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven
The eyes of Waylon just told me so
And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven
The eyes of old Waylon just told me so

Hank Williams Jr. | Family Tradition | /h/hank+williams+jr/family+tradition_20196896.html | Country music singers, have always been a real close family,
But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me.
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction.
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition.
They get on me and want to know Hank why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions.
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition.
I am very proud of my daddy's name
All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same.
Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position.
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition.
So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction.
I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition.
Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in 1973.
When that doctor asked me, "son how did you get in this condition?"
I said, "hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition."
So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink?
Hank, why do roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over, try and put yourself in my unique position.
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition!

Hank Williams Jr. | Feelin Better | /h/hank+williams+jr/feelin+better_21005244.html | Moved on down
To sweet home Alabama in 1974
Had to get out of Music City
And I had to get off the road
Woman, she left and the people
Wouldn't let me sing nothin' but them old
Sad songs, had to get high so I wouldn't cry
You know they hit pretty close to home
I'm feelin' better
Now that I'm back on the road
Getting it together
Between Macon and Muscle Shoals
I started turnin' up loud and looking at the crowd
And bendin' them guitar strings
Knew all the while, though it was my style
Could they ever forget my name
Rocked 'ed in Raleigh, knocked 'em outta Nashville
Just couldn't do no wrong
People went wild and the band said
"Child, better keep on playin' your songs"
I'm feelin' better
Now that I'm back on the road
Getting it together
Between Macon and Muscle Shoals
Well, my life ain't the same and I had to change
And I hope this music will show
A little bit less of cryin' in the beer
And a little of my own soul
Waylon and Toy and all them boys
I wanna say thanks to you
Your fiddle and your steel make me play what I feel
And I don't feel lovesick blues
I'm feelin' better
Now that I'm back on the road
Getting it together
Between Macon and Muscle Shoals
All came together in my sweet Alabama home
And I'm through forever of tryin' to put everybody on
And I'm feelin' better
I got hurt but I'm back on the road
Getting it together, had to eat a little cornbread
I've been eatin' that cornbread, sleepin' on a featherbed
Drinkin' that homegrown
Writin' some new songs, do it on, get home
Eat a little cornbread, lovin' on a featherbed
Smokin' that homegrown, write a few new songs
This here music's homegrown

Hank Williams Jr. | Free Born Man | /h/hank+williams+jr/free+born+man_20197981.html | I was born in the Southland! Twenty some odd years ago.
Now I ran away for the first time when I was about four years old.
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile
from a railroad track.
I got a gal in Cincinatti, got a woman in San Antone.
But I always love that girl next door and any ole place is home.
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile
from a railroad track.
I've got me a worn out guitar. I carry an ole tote sack.
I've hocked it about two-hundred times but I always get it back.
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Now I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile from
a railroad track.
You May not like my appearance. You may not like my song,
You might not like the way I am but you sure like the way I'm gone
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile
from a railroad track.

Hank Williams Jr. | Getting Over You | /h/hank+williams+jr/getting+over+you_21036491.html | I sold my car to buy more wine
I hocked my watch, I've lost track of time
Days with you went by so fast now I'm trying to relive the past
You don't know what I've been through getting over you
I've tried to love other women but I can't
You've really made a mess out of what used to be a man
I thought I drowned the fire in others but you're still my only lover
You don't know what I've been through getting over you
Bridge:
I got some pills from a ol' doctor friend
The bottle said one every 12 hours for pain
But this pain I feel aint small that's why I took them one and all
It was something I had to do to get over you
No, the pain I feel ain't small
Lord I took them one and all
It was something I had to do to get over you

Hank Williams Jr. | Gibbonsville Gold | /h/hank+williams+jr/gibbonsville+gold_21033547.html | My name is Bill Harlan. I'm a God fearin' man
From the lost rebel army, a Tennessee Calvary man
From Shilo to Nashville we made our last stand
When the battles were over, everythin' we had was gone with the wind
But I still had my family and a hope and a dream
And I heard of gold fever and the Rocky Mountain streams
So we took what we had and some gold diggin' gear
And we headed for a new life on the Northwest frontier
Montana Territory where the winters are cold
The lands full of game and the creeks are full of gold
Just west of the mountains is a town they call Gibbonsville
You can sure get gold fever, you can damn sure get killed
But I staked my claims, I was rarin' to go
I've made up my mind and I set out to find the Gibbonsville (D)gold
[Chorus:]
Oh, you find just a little, just enough to get by
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why
There's a whole lot more down there, I don't have to be told
I've made up my mind and I'm gonna find that Gibbonsville gold
Every morning at daylight with a pick and a pan
Keep an eye out for the blackfeet. Keep a rifle near hand
Back shooters and grizzlies, better stay alert all the time
'Cause the only law here in this wild country is the gun and the knife
In the year of our Lord, eighteen sixty-nine
I lost my dear son to a cave-in at the mine
Yes I know he's gone please God rest his soul
So many have died trying to find this damned Gibbonsville gold
[Chorus:]
Yeah, you find just a little, just enough to get by
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why
Then someone finds a nugget, just as big as your thumb
And we all go hard at it from sun until sun
Yeah I got to find it, that main mother load
I've made up my mind and I swear to find that Gibbonsville gold
There's a whole lot more down there, my share of that main mother load
I've made up my mind and I swear to find the Gibbonsville gold --- fade

Hank Williams Jr. | Go Girl Go | /h/hank+williams+jr/go+girl+go_21033468.html | Well the mustang pulled in a no parkin' zone
Out stepped a chic with legs to the bone
Alabama figure and a Tennessee smile
Louisiana walk that'll drive a man wild
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show, go girl go
When she goes to the party and she starts to dance
All the other girls they ain't gotta chance
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show, go girl go
Well the way she wiggles when she starts to walk
All the men want to do is talk
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's a hell of a show... go girl go
When she eased into my Cadillac
I gave her the look and she gave it right back
And now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show... go girl go
Alabama figure and a Tennessee smile
Louisiana walk that'll drive a man wild
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show... go girl go

Hank Williams Jr. | Greeted In Enid | /h/hank+williams+jr/greeted+in+enid_21033712.html | Well if your from Texas it's more or less a law
There's no love loss for Oklahoma, especially in football
Well partner it's time for that ol' myth to die
I want you to see how they treated me in Enid last night
I was feeling low in Fort Worth, I had the heartbreak blues
My sweet love had left me for some California dude
To Sacramento that girl did go, said she won't be back
Well I never thought I could feel so good after I hurt so bad
Yes I was greeted in Enid last night
That old Oklahoma hospitality was really nice
Cause my girl walked out in cow-town and left me high and dry
But I was trapped down and loved on site
Oh those sooner folks are alright
I was greeted in Enid last night
Now thie pretty Ok-city-billy has really stole my heart
And I'll take bets that her and Tex are never gonna part
Well who would dream it here in Enid I would meet my wife
And Oklahoma and Texas are gonna get along just fine
Yes I was greeted in Enid last night
That good old Oklahoma hospitality was really nice
Yes my girl walked out in cow-town and she told me bye bye
But I was trapped down and loved on site
Oh those sooner folks are alright
I was greeted in Enid last night
I think I forgot my hat honey

Hank Williams Jr. | Guitar Money | /h/hank+williams+jr/guitar+money_21033457.html | I had a nine to five day job at kentucky fried
Trying to make the payments on a pick up truck and double wide
Mamma always said son,
Use a little common sense
So I took her at a whirl and
Decided I could suck them in
I had an ol' les paul pulled out from under the bed
And the number of a drummer knew somebody in the grateful dead
And I got him on the line and he talked awhile
Then he said I'm glad you called
We need a guitar player and a man that can sing it all
I started making me some guitar money
Guitar money
I sure do like it when the people start screaming turn it up
Turn it up

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never feel so blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Hank Williams Jr. | Hamburger Steak, Holiday Inn | /h/hank+williams+jr/hamburger+steak+holiday+inn_20215327.html | Hamburger Steak Holiday Inn that's the kinda world that I live in
Play a different town most every night
Lovin' your woman write a new song that's my life
That's my life and I love it that's my life
There ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you've gotta live it
I got a big bus with a tv and a bar
And a little room in the back for me and my ole guitar
Gotta stop and fuel up every five hundred miles
Give a picture to the waitress eat a little breakfast country style
That's my life and I love it...
We get home to Nashville on a Monday night
Record songs on Tuesday and on Wednesday take out the wife
But then on Thursday night it's back on the road
I don't care if it's Montana or down in Louisiana just as long as I go
That's my life and I love it...

Hank Williams Jr. | Hank Hill Is The King | /h/hank+williams+jr/hank+hill+is+the+king_21033546.html | He's got the whitest legs this side of Montana
Never seen a situation he couldn't handle
No he'll never give in and he always helps his friends
But the world today sure looks strange to him
His trade mark his big square grey glasses
He wears t-shirts he don't care about high fashion
When he plays his guitar, in his mind he's a star
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Cause a hick is a hick (a hick is a hick)
And a dude is a dude (a dude is a dude)
A squirrel is a squirrel and a nut is a nut and I love his attitude
There's only one show that's worth a damn on the tube
Yeah he's my hero, a man I'd be proud to know
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Now our kind of food is barbeque and steaks
We hate jet skis and beaches
We like fishing boats and lakes
Close as heaven I can go is watching hunting and fishing shows
And hanging out down at the hardware store
Now Texas that is one beautiful place
We don't have as many weirdos as New York and L. A,
We got our ideology and politics just right you see
He's our only hope, a man we'd be proud tp know
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Cause a hick is a hick (a hick is a hick)
And a dude is a dude (a dude is a dude)
A freak is a freak and a nut is a nut and I love his attitude
There's only one show that's worth a damn on the tube
Yeah he's my hero, a man I'd be proud to know
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Hank Hill is the king

And I don't smell the perfume you used to wear
And I don't see your blouse or jeans or your pretty white cotton gown
And I've looked all over Hell but Heaven can't be found
I looked on the bedside table but your jewelry was all gone
And I just wish you'd call every time I look at the phone
I looked in our dressing mirror and I saw myself break down
Oh, I looked all over Hell but Heaven can't be found
I called and looked in everyplace you used to hang around
I've searched in every bar and club and honkey tonk in town
And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down
I've looked all over Hell but Heaven can't be found
And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down
Oh, I've looked all over Hell but my Heaven can't be found

I sure didn't plan it and I don't understand it but here I am fallin' again.
Here I am lyin' again making up places that I've never been.
I thought I was through with these heart breaking blues but here I am lyin'
again.
Why don't a man ever take time to think what is at stake?
Is it the danger or the pleasurable stranger but those are the chances we'll
take.
I'd hate to come face to face with her and her at the same place
Cause it will be hell If I had to tell her someone has taken her place.
I had a beautiful wife,she found it all out one night
And the pleasurable stranger, lord I didn't change her and I lost it all this
time.
So here I am cryin' again and callin' symphothy from my ole friends
He once loved her and she once him and here I am cryin' again

Hank Williams Jr. | Hide And Seek | /h/hank+williams+jr/hide+and+seek_21033708.html | I think uncle sam killed Maralyn Monroe
I think there's a lot of things
Our leaders don't want us to know like
Why is it so easy to buy crack out on the street
It's our national shame playing these games
Playing hide and seek
Now what if you an I was a hundred thousandover
On our bank accounts?
And the s and L scandal,tax payers can bail 'em out
And the Anita Hill Hearings, what exactly did that prove
Except that a lot of senators think they're holier than you
Let's cover it up Let' hide it No one can ever tell
Let's cover it up let's hide it before it starts to smell
Don't rock the boat,don't make any waves
Just write a brand new speech
Well here we are two hunderd years old
And we're still playin' hide andseek
Now the Rodney King case, if that ain't the livin' proof
Six guys nearly beat 'im to death, and they all flew th coop
And I don't like those odds of six goin' on one
We're all playin' hide and seek, and noones havin' fun
Our president didn't go to Viet Nam, he went
To harvard to write a speech
Now come on who's kiddin' who
It's American hide and seek

It's just the man that's in me
That makes me wanna do the things I do
It's not my fault my soul hungers
But it makes me stop and wonder
How long will you keep coming back to me
Oh I'll take your heart and break it
And yet somehow you make it
How long will you keep coming back to me
I call you a fool, I call you crazy
That's no way to treat a lady
How long will you keep coming back to me
The love it takes to keep me
It's more than one woman can give me
Though I know no one can love me more than you
Surely time will fill my hunger
And I won't have to wonder
How long will you keep coming back to me
Oh I take your heart and break it
And yet somehow you make it
How long will you keep coming back to me
I call you a fool, I call you crazy
That's no way to treat a lady
How long will you keep coming back to me

I can't even spell my name my head's in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old table spoon
You got me chasin' rabbits walkin' on my hands and howlin' on the moon
Well Sug I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad
And then I even want and lost what little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasin' rabbits pullin' out my hair and howlin' at the moon
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree
Cause there ain't a hounddog in this state that can hold a light to me
I ate three bones for dinner today I tried to tree a coon
You got me chasin' rabbits I'm cratchin' fleas and howlin' at the moon
I rode my horse to town today and a gaspump we did pass
I pulled him up and I hollered whoa and I said fill him up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham he changed my tune
You got me chasin' rabbitts spittin' out teeth and howlin' at the moon
I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
But honey baby when I fell the whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways if I'd take me for your goom

Has she had time, time to find someone new
Any day now will be her last,

'Cause I was once, once there too,
how's my ex treating you?
Like the sand she moves with the tide
Your two arms will never keep her satisfied
You can't keep her satisfied
She'll use you just the way she used me too
But up till now how's my ex treating you?
Like the sand she moves with the tide
Your two arms will never keep her satisfied
She'll use you just the way you use her too
But up till now how's my ex treating you?

Hank Williams Jr. | I Can Take Anything | /h/hank+williams+jr/i+can+take+anything_20837935.html | I can take anything cause I'm different from the rest
Your lying lips don't bother me they still bring me happiness
And I don't see all the things other people say you do
I can take anything but losing you
I can take anything cause I'm living for that day
You get tired of running round and come back in my arms to stay
I don't care how long you treat me like you do I can take anything but losing
you
I can take anything cause my heart's learned to live
Oh what you used to be and the love you used to give
How do I take it now knowing I'm just a fool I can take anything but losing
you

And to do the things I really want to do
And you want to change the part of me I'm proud of
So I can't be myself when I'm with you
Oh you never like the clothes I wear on Sunday
Just because I don't believe the way you do
But I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy
Cause I can't be myself when I'm with you
No I can't be myself and be what pleases you
And down deep inside I don't believe that you want me to
And it's not my way to take so long deciding
That I can't be myself when I'm with you
No it's not my way

I'll pull them until each one is in tune
I'll try to make things go like you want to
But babe, I can't change my tune for you
But I'll pull strings for you

So don't ask me to

This world holds nothing for me
I've been lonely night and day ever since you went away
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes and the sun don't ever shine
It won't matter with me
For when she left away my world ended that day
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
My lonely mind goes back to days that used to be
My broken heart cries out for you
Oh if I can't have you here I can't go on my dear
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes...
George when she left away poor Hank my world ended that day
I don't care if tomorrow never comes

Never have I spent a day without you on my mind.
And I've tried a lot of songs and I need to try one that's new.
But I don't have anymore love songs to try on you.
We just can't ever get it together it seems.
You'are arm's don't hold me the way that they do in my dreams.
And it's hard to make up things that you never do.
And I don't have anymore love songs to make up about you.
I don't have anymore love songs to write for you.
Too many I wrote before have never come true.
And it's hard to make up lines for things you don't do.
And I don't have anymore love songs to sing for you.
And it's hard to make up things that you never do.
And I don't have anymore love songs to sing for you.

Hank Williams Jr. | I Got Rights | /h/hank+williams+jr/i+got+rights_21005242.html | I went down to the
Mary Cater Paint Store
I said, give me one of them
Smith and Wesson Magnum.44s
'Cause there's a man that the law let loose
And justice was not done
This man he killed my wife
And my only little son
I'll never forget the way he looked
All through the trial
He had a big name lawyer
And he had that smirky smile
Oh yeah, he got you off
On a technicality
But you'd have to grow wings
And fly to ever get away from me
'Cause I got rights
I got rights too
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers
And systems to protect you
But I'm gonna read you
I'm gonna read you your rights
You got the right to know that you're gonna go to hell
One of these black nights
And when the trial was over he had the nerve to say
"That's the way it goes"
I said, "Well, hoss, you better get you some corks
'Cause you're gonna have to plug up a few holes"
I guess he thought I was talkin'
Just to pass away time
But he kinda looks different
Now on his knees beggin' for his life
Hey, I got rights
I got some rights too
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers
And systems to protect you
But I'm gonna read you
I'm gonna read you your rights
'Cause I want you to know that you're gonna go to hell
One of these black nights
Yeah, and this time there ain't no damn lawyers
And systems to save you

Wrapped up in the skin tight pants
They got style

They drive me wild!
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls
Yes, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls!
I like them small
I like 'em tall

If a girl don't know how to cope
Because the things that they know,
How to do can't be learned in a book!
They got smarts
They got hearts
They got my heart!
That's why I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls!

They're really really neat
They're really sweet
They're real petite

Hank Williams Jr. | I Saw The Light | /h/hank+williams+jr/i+saw+the+light_20343227.html | I wandered so aimless life filed with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the lord I saw the light.
[Chorus]
I saw the light I saw the light
no more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.
[Chorus]
I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the lord I saw the light.
[Chorus]

And I can't understand this awful change you're goin' through.
And lately I've been watchin' you grow colder everyday.
And I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather see someone else here in my place.
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today.
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather see someone else here in my place.
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today.
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way.

Hank Williams Jr. | If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie | /h/hank+williams+jr/if+heaven+aint+a+lot+like+dixie_20709598.html | If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't want to go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
I was one of the chosen few, to be born in Alabam',
I'm just alike my daddy's son, I'm proud of who I am.
I went through a lot of good women, and shook old Jim Beam's hand,
If I never see the pearly gates, I've walked through the promised land.
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't want to go,
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home.
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee,
Just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.
I've got wild honey trees and crazy little weeds, growin' around my shack,
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold, but I'm a happy right where I'm at.
All these pretty little southern belles are a country boy's dream,
They ain't got wings or halos, but they're sure looking good to me.
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't want to go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't want to go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee,
just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.

I love big John Cash
And I think Waylon "Woktosha" Jennings

Playin' with Marshall Tucker Band
Was as good as smokin' grass

You can kiss our ass
Cause I think what they done
Is well worth doin'
And their doin' it the
Best way that they can
Oh you're the only one
That you are screwin'
When you put down what
You don't understand
I love all them Allman Brothers,
Merle Haggard, and George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them
Rockin' rollin' Stones
Everything the Eagles do
And I'm in love with Linda Rondstat
Anybody that don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass
Cause I think what they done
Is well worth doin'
And their doin' it the
Best way that they can
Oh you're the only one
That you are screwin'
When you put down what
You don't understand
I ain't sayin' that he was
The first or the last

I'll sit up in your parlor, let you cool me with your fan
I'll listen to your troubles and pet you when you cry
But get that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die
I done my honky tonkin' 'round if that will bring you fun
But somehow, I can't understand how one and one makes one
I like to cuddle near you and listen to you lie
But get that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die
Now, if you want a help, mate, you're just wasting lots of time
'Cause I'm afraid of church bells, how they scare me when they chime
I've seen those married people just up and say goodbye
So keep that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die
This freedom's mighty precious in this land of liberty
I've seen what matrimony done to better men than me
I don't mind keepin' company with the apple of my eye
But keep that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die

Hank Williams Jr. | I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive | /h/hank+williams+jr/ill+never+get+out+of+this+world+alive_20709579.html | Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind a mad
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world a live.
My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
And I was livin'g high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched.
Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails.
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
I could buy a Sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

Hank Williams Jr. | Just Enough To Get In Trouble | /h/hank+williams+jr/just+enough+to+get+in+trouble_20226306.html | I've been down my share of
Country roads, boulevards, and interstates
I kinda know my way around
A little bout a lot of things
I know what the cards say
Sometimes the hard way
It looks so easy
My curiosity always gets me in a ditch
What really happens if
You turn that knob
Or flip that switch
Something I shouldn't do
Why you already knew
Thats all been taught to me
[Chorus]
I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em put it on my tombstone
He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone
They got a book somewhere
On everything a woman wants
Bout how and when and where
And why they will
And why they won't
Thats complicated stuff
And when it comes to love
I'm still learning
[Chorus]
Waylon always told me
Son everybody makes mistakes
And how come it's always me
Standing there when something breaks
Yeah I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em write it on my tombstone
Here lies just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone
He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not quite enough to leave it alone

Hank Williams Jr. | Living Proof | /h/hank+williams+jr/living+proof_20837736.html | I'm gonna quit singin' all these sad songs
'Cause I can't stand the pain
Oh, the life I sing about now
And the one I live is the same
When I sing them old songs of daddy's
Seems like every one comes true
Lord, please help me
Do I have to be the living proof
Why just the other night after the show
An old drunk came up to me
He says "You ain't as good as your daddy, boy
And you never will be"
Then a young girl in old blue jeans
Says, "I'm your biggest fan"
It's a good thing I was born Gemini
'Cause I'm living for more than one man
Remember Jimmie and Hank and Johnny
They were in the summer of life
When you called them away, Lord
I don't wanna pay that price
Don't let my son ever touch a guitar
May he never sing the blues
Let him be free
Don't make him be more living proof
I don't wanna be a legend
I just wanna be a man
But Lord, You know sometimes
I've needed a helpin' hand
And it ain't been so easy lately
I've had to go it all alone
But I've always had anything
I ever wanted, except a home
I'm gonna quit singin' all them sad songs
'Cause I can't stand the pain
Oh, the life I sang to you about
And the one I live is the same
Yes, I've sang those old songs of daddy's
And now it seems they all come true
Lord, please help me
Do I have to be the living proof
Lord, please help me
I don't wanna be the living proof

And I've been bit. Yeah I'm a lone wolf.
They like to shoot at me but they miss.
Yeah I'm a lone wolf and I ain't never been trapped,
And God help the people that think they got me cornered at last.
I've been hunting.I've been tracking.
I've been running since I was 3, born in Louisiana Swamp,
Moved with the pack to Tennessee.
Raised by black and white dogs to some country, some rock-n-roll.
They said now boy your gonna have to quit your houlling so.
Staying up all night and chasing Lassies by the moon
Laying up all day on the porch playing guitar tunes.
Yeah I'm a lone wolf and I no longer run with the pack.
Yeah I am a lone wolf.I don't ever look back.
Hey I am a lone wolf out here on the prowl
And most of us have been penned up but I'm still running wild.
Hey I'm a lone wolf.I've been chased and I've been bit.
Yeah I am a lone wolf this ole dog knows all the tricks.
Hey I'm a lone wolf. Still hungry and I'm on the prowl,
And most of us have been penned up but
Bocephus is running wild.

And say howdy to you all

Hat and shades, beard and all
Now I have heard, mmm hmm, I've gotten the word
About all these silly imposters runnin around
Let me tell you somethin now they ain't real
They got no scars, they got no feel
Why they don't know nothin about whiskey bent and hellbound
Now I'm looking for a lover and I'm looking for some fun
My name is Bocephus
I'm a son of a gun
Some of us are born with it, some of us don't ever, ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man, and it's true I love the money
And it's true I love all the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
Not everybody loves me
But those that do will fight
Right to the end they're guitar friends
From legendary Saturday Nights
I learned something from Lynyrd Skynyrd
From my Daddy and Ernest Tubb too
I do country rock, I do blues
Now I'm looking for a lover
And I'm going to have some fun
Oh, my name is Bocephus
And I'm a son of a gun
Some of us are born with it
Some of em don't ever, ever get it

I don't mind if you just
Keep on rolling away on a distant sea,

And your lovers and friends is all good and fine.
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
La la la la la la la
I don't care what you do late at night.
No, and I don't care how you get your delights.
I'll leave you alone,
I'll just let you be.
I don't love you and you don't love me.
I got a problem, can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate.
We made a vow that we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la la la la la la
I tried to love you for years upon years.
You wouldn't take it for real.
It's time you saw what I wanted you to see,
And I'd still love you and you'd still love me.

And drag my sorry ass out of bed
Sometimes I don't
And I just lay there instead
I'm going down to the store today
And hope my cold sores all go away
Sometimes I just put on my socks
[Chorus:]
Well, I'm Ramblin' in my shoes
I'm ramblin' in my shoes
I'm a-ramblin' in my shoes
'Cause I got a hole in my socks
Sometimes I wet the bed
And lie in my own filth
Sometimes I don't
I get up and go to the bathroom
I'm going down to the store today
And hope my cold sores all go away
Sometimes I just go barefooted

Storms never last, do they baby.
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder, and your love makes the sun
Want to shine.
I've followed you down so many roads,
Baby I've picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs.
And every road you took I know your search was for the truth.
And the cloud that's brewing now won't be your last.

Hank Williams Jr. | Tee Tot Song | /h/hank+williams+jr/tee+tot+song_21033461.html | Every mornin' ole Tee Tot come 'round
Settin'up his shoe shine box in town
And he'd sing "Good Mornin' Montgomery"
He'd sing "Good Mornin' Montgomery'
He'd sing "Good Mornin' Montgomery"
He's sing "Good Morinin' Montgomery, Alabam'
I'm so glad, don't be sad
There's no way you could feel bad
When this dear man with a tin pan
Started to play the blues!
Met this white boy little Hiram (Hank)
Took him in right under his wing
And he'd say, Tee Tot make it ring
And he'd say, Tee Tot make it ring
And he would laugh and he would sing
Could you please, "Show me"
"Show me"
"Show me, show me"
If I could play just like you
Why I'd give anything
Well he learned to play like the old man said he would
Little Hiram's got his name in Hollywood
I wish that Tee Tot could have stayed around
Then maybe Little Hiram would not have drowned
In all those things that does a boy
That wants to sing no good
Little Hiram's music's had a worldwide touch
And we all owe Mr. Rufus Payne so much
We got peanuts, fresh peanuts
Put your money in the tin cup
I can see them now with a big smile
Splittin' the days work up

You made me cry, and I cried a lot.
I just wanted your love, baby thanks a lot.
You told my friends as I was passin' by,
That you're not sorry that you made me cry.
You said I deserved everything that I got,
Well if that's how you feel, honey thanks a lot.

Now all I've got is a broken heart.
We loved a little and you laughed a lot,
And then you were gone. honey thanks a lot.
