David Allan Coe - The Ghost Of Hank Williams Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was thumbin' back from Montgomery
  • with a guitar on my back
  • When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac.
  • Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed
  • Its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son.
  • He sat down in the front seat, and turned on the radio
  • and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold.
  • Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light.
  • And knew there was somethin' strange about this ride.
  • CHORUS:
  • He said: Mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang.
  • Can you pay your dues, can you moan the blues
  • Can you bend them guitar strangs.
  • He said: Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside,
  • Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride.
  • Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
  • he said: (spoken) this is where you get off, boy
  • cause I'm going back to Alabam'.
  • I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks.
  • he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister.
  • The whole world calls me Hank.
  • Repeat Chorus
