Tribute To Hank Williams

Goodbye, Hank Williams, my friend

Though I didn't know you

Well, I've been places you've been

And in Richmond where he'd just been

For some, seats could not be found

But still they planned to see him again

Next time Hank Williams in town

And hardly nobody knew that night

How soon they'd be cryin'

Hardly nobody knew that night

Hank Williams was dyin'

Well, he sang from his heart

And he took the pain for his fans

Who took that song from his heart

And then they sighed and they clapped their hands

So goodbye, Hank Williams, my friend

Though I didn't know you

Well, I've been places you've been

And the chauffeur steered the car that night

To the town next in line for the show

And with his name in the Dayton lights

And people with tickets to go

And hardly nobody knew that night

How soon they'd be cryin'

Hardly nobody knew that night

Hank Williams was dyin'

So goodbye, Hank Williams, my friend

Though I didn't know you

Well, I've been places you've been
