Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hank Williams

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

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 of New Orleans

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

Daddy told the man, "If you wanna some dough
Take a little money and me on a show"
And we them dates and we filled the places well
But Hank, done blowed the profits all to hell

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

Hank looked at me with a looking grin
Said, "I've to the Opry and I'm going back again"
We met the owner in a little office
And a big fat fella with some hair

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

And he fired my ass and he Jerry Rivers
And he fired everybody just as as he could go
He fired old and he fired Sammy Pruitt
And he fired some people that he even know

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

Now, daddy he was making hand over fist
And was getting screwed but you wasn't getting kissed
Yeah, I told him to a little bit around
But he said, he'd rather send it to his folks in

So he your ass and he fired Jerry Rivers
And he fired everybody as hard as he could go
He fired old Cedric and he fired Pruitt
And he fired some that he didn't even know

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

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

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

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

Oh, well a family tradition ya know?
Yap, yap, yap, yap
But I kept Rivers
Right,
