Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Jeff

was a maker of hats, Manny was much more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I would want for a
Manny was a regular guy, an old soul look in his eye
He was a man of word, and to himself to the end

Manny liked to and share a good story or two
If he's a making you a hat, he needs to know some things you
He'd say, "Set down, tell us what you're thinking about
Your hat says something about you, you even open your mouth"

Manny had a funky hat shop, south of where everyone stopped
To sit and chat, get a hat, and maybe get a new
He loved to sit up front and greet
Take their measurements and at their jokes

You couldn't stop by without staying all afternoon
His wife she sat in the back,
Sewing sweatbands in all of his
She listened to the radio, times I'd sing her a tune

He made for a lot of great men
But none finer then he made for a friend
He made 'em the old way, steamed, and creased 'em by
He'd take your old hat and make her new
He'd shape it any way you him too
He'd fix it up fine a porcupine-beaded hatband

You his hats were worn all over the world
By real cowboy, and pearls
He even made one for me he called "the old friend"

Well when old friends disappear, I wonder where
I'd like to maybe there just somewhere round the bend
But Manny's in heaven I bet, I'll go you one yet
I'll bet money John B. and Manny are God into a hat

Old used to take me aside,
He'd say Jerry Jeff you how to write
Why don't you make up a hat song and do it the way that you do
now that old Manny has gone,
I finally made him up Manny's hat
'Cause the best way to keep your old friend alive in a room

Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I want for a friend
