hank williams iii - ballad of hank williams كلمات الأغنية

don tell us how it really was when you was workin with daddy
well in 1950 i took a little nip
along with mr. williams on the way to mississipp’
we was stacked 8 deep in a packard limousine
and we met this promoter in the town of new orleans
now the man told daddy that he had what it took
and he liked the way he sang and he liked the way he shook
he said pretty soon he’d make us all rich
and we started believin’ that fat sumb-tch
daddy told the man if you wanna make some dough
take a little money and book me on a show
and we played them dates and we filled the places well
but hank, he’d done blowed the profits all to h-ll
cause he’d run through a 10 and he’d run through a 20
and he’d run through a 100 just as fast as it could go
like a big dose of sauce to a little bitty fella
he’d spend a $1000 dollars on a $100 dollar show
hank looked at me with a funny lookin’ grin
said “i’ve been to the opry and i’m goin’ back again”
we met the owner in a little office there
and a big fat fella with some artificial hair
he told hank he wanted half of everything he made
or he’d have to tell audrey ’bout some women hank had laid
and you told daddy he’d better get smart
get rid of them fellas and make a new start
and he fired my -ss and he fired jerry rivers
and he fired everybody just as hard as he could go
he fired old cedric and he fired sammy pruitt
and he fired some people that he didn’t even know
well, every song he made it went to number one
y’all was workin’ like h-ll and you was havin’ fun
we was ridin’ every day and playin’ every night
and every 20 minutes some of us had a fight
now, daddy he was makin’ money hand over fist
and y’all was getting’ screwed but you wasn’t getting kissed
yeah, i told him to p-ss a little bit around
but he said he’d rather send it to his folks in alabam’
so he fired your -ss and he fired jerry rivers
and he fired everybody just as hard as he could go
he fired old cedric and he fired sammy pruitt
and he fired some people that he didn’t even know
now the owner of the opry, he’s a-doin’ pretty good
he’s got a music company that they call cedarwood
and hank played nothing but sold out halls
and i was pumpin’ gas in greasy overalls
cause he fired my -ss and he fired jerry rivers
and he fired everybody just as hard as he could go
he fired old cedric and he fired sammy pruitt
and he fired some people that he didn’t even know
hank run through a 50 and he’d run through a 100
and he’d run through a 1000 just as hard as he could go
buying cadillac coots paying double allimony
and he fired some people that he didn’t even know
don you know you, know you used to work for me one time
i sure know that come but come to think of it you fired my -ss back in 1972
oh…well it’s a family tradition ya know?
yap yap yap yap…
but i kept jerry rivers
right right..
