Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Walker

was a maker of hats, Manny was much more than that
He was the of guy, you and I would want for a friend
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 you a hat, he needs to know some things about you
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what you're thinking
Your hat says something you, before you even 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 folks
Take their and laugh at their jokes

You stop by without staying there all afternoon
His Norma she sat in the back,
sweatbands in all of his hats
She listened to the radio, times I'd sing her a tune

He made for a lot of great men
But none were 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 with a porcupine-beaded hatband

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

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

Old Manny used to me aside,
say Jerry Jeff you know how to write
Why don't you make up a hat song and do it just the way you do
now that old Manny has gone,
I finally him up Manny's hat song
'Cause it's the best way to 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
