Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Walker

was a maker of hats, Manny was much more than 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 to know some things about you
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what thinking 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 maybe get a new
He loved to sit up front and greet
Take their measurements and laugh at 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 finer he made for a friend
He made 'em the old way, steamed, and creased 'em by
He'd take old hat and make her brand new
shape 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, and pearls
He made one for me he jokingly called "the old friend"

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

Old Manny used to me aside,
He'd say Jerry Jeff you how to write
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 hat song
it's the best way to keep your old friend alive in a room

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