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
was a regular guy, with an old soul look in his eye
He was a man of word, and to himself to the end

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

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

You couldn't stop by without there all afternoon
His Norma she sat in the back,
sweatbands in all of his hats
She to the radio, some 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 her brand new
He'd it any way you wanted him too
He'd fix it up fine with a hatband

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

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

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

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