Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hank Williams

Don, tell us how it was
When you was with daddy

Well, in 1950, I took a nip
with Mr. Williams on the way to Mississippi
We was 8 deep in a Packard limousine
And we met this promoter in the town of New

Now the man told daddy he had what it took
And he liked the way he sang and he the way he shook
He said, pretty soon he'd make us all
And we started believing that fat sum

Daddy told the man, "If you wanna make dough
Take a little money and me on a show"
And we played dates and we filled the places well
But Hank, he'd done the profits all to hell

he'd run through a 10 and he'd run through a 20
And run through a 100 just as fast as it could go
Like a big dose of salts to a little fella
He'd spend a 1000 dollars on a 100 dollar

Hank looked at me with a funny looking
Said, "I've been to the and I'm going back again"
We met the owner in a little there
And a big fat with some artificial hair

He Hank, he wanted half of everything he made
Or he'd have to tell 'bout some women Hank had laid
And you told daddy, he'd better get
Get rid of fellas and make a new start

And he fired my ass and he fired Rivers
And he fired everybody just as as he could go
He fired old Cedric and he fired Pruitt
And he fired people that he didn't even know

Well, every he made it went to number one
Y'all was working like and you was having fun
We was riding every day and playing every
And every 20 some of us had a fight

Now, he was making money hand over fist
And y'all was getting screwed but you getting kissed
Yeah, I told him to pass a little bit
But he said, he'd send it to his folks in Alabama

So he fired your ass and he Jerry Rivers
And he fired everybody just as as he could go
He fired old Cedric and he fired Sammy
And he fired people that he didn't even know

Now the owner of the Opry, he's a doing pretty
He's got a music company that they Cedarwood
And Hank played nothing but sold out
And I was gas in greasy overalls

'Cause he fired my ass and he Jerry Rivers
And he fired everybody just as hard as he go
He fired old Cedric and he Sammy Pruitt
And he fired some that he didn't even know

Hank run through a 50 and run through a 100
And he'd run through a 1000 just as hard as he go
Buying Cadillac coots, paying alimony
And he fired some people that he didn't even

Don you know, you
You used to for me one time?
I know that come but come to think of it
You my ass back in 1972

Oh, it's a family tradition ya know?
Yap, yap, yap, yap
But I kept Rivers
Right,
