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 for a friend
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 to laugh 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 yourself down, tell us what you're about
hat says something about you, before you even open your mouth"

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

You couldn't stop by without there all afternoon
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 hats for a lot of great men
But none were finer then he made for a
He made 'em the old way, steamed, and 'em by hand
He'd take your old hat and her brand new
shape it any way you wanted him too
He'd fix it up fine with a hatband

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

Well old friends disappear, I sometimes wonder where
I'd like to think maybe there just somewhere 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 to take me aside,
He'd say Jeff you know how to write
Why don't you up a hat song and do it just the way that you do
now that old Manny has gone,
I finally made him up hat song
'Cause it's the best way to keep your old alive in a room

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