Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Walker

Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was much than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I would want for a
Manny was a regular guy, with an old soul in his eye
He was a man of word, and true to 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 about you
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what thinking about
Your hat says something about you, before you even 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 and greet folks
their measurements and laugh at their jokes

You couldn't stop by without staying there all
His wife she sat in the back,
Sewing sweatbands in all of his
She to the radio, some 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 'em by hand
He'd take your old hat and her brand new
He'd shape it any way you him too
fix it up fine with a porcupine-beaded hatband

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

Well old friends disappear, I sometimes 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 money John B. and Manny are talking God a hat

Old used to take me aside,
say Jerry Jeff you know how to write
Why you make up a hat song and do it just the way that you do
Well now old Manny has gone,
I made him up Manny's hat song
it's the best way to keep your old friend alive in a room

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