Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hank Williams

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

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

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

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

'Cause he'd run a 10 and he'd run through a 20
And he'd run through a 100 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 a funny looking grin
Said, "I've been to the Opry and I'm going again"
We met the owner in a office there
And a big fat fella with some hair

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

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

Well, every song he made it to number one
Y'all was working hell and you was having fun
We was riding every day and playing every
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 pass a little bit
But he said, he'd send it to his folks in Alabama

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

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

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

Hank run through a 50 and run through a 100
And he'd run through a just as hard as he could go
Buying coots, paying double alimony
And he fired some people that he even know

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

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