Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Jeff

Manny was a maker of hats, was much more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I want for a friend
Manny was a regular guy, with an old soul 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 to know some things about you
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what you're about
Your hat something about you, before you even open your mouth"

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

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

He hats for a lot of great men
But none were finer 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 it any way you wanted him too
He'd fix it up fine with a porcupine-beaded

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

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

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