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
