Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hank Williams

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

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

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 started believing fat sum bitch

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

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

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

He told Hank, he half of everything he made
Or he'd to tell 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 fired Jerry
And he fired everybody just as as he could go
He fired old Cedric and he Sammy Pruitt
And he fired some people that he even know

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 in 1972

Oh, well it's a family tradition ya
Yap, yap, yap, yap
But I kept Jerry
Right,
