Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Jeff

Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was much more 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 some things about you
He'd say, "Set down, tell us what you're thinking about
Your hat says something about you, before you open your mouth"

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

You couldn't stop by without staying there all
His Norma she sat in the back,
Sewing in all of his hats
She listened to the radio, some times I'd 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 'em by hand
take your old hat and make her brand new
He'd shape it any way you him too
He'd fix it up fine with a porcupine-beaded

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

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

Old used to take me aside,
He'd say Jeff you know how to write
Why don't you make up a hat song and do it just the way you do
Well now 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 much more than
He was the kind of guy, you and I would for a friend
