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
