They say Hank was a mighty heavy drinker, I don't know They say Hank was a mighty heavy thinker, I reckon that's so All the songs he wrote, everything he said, it didn't come from a light thinker's head Some say whiskey wrecked Hank's health, but they don't know They say Hank sung a real good song, and I'll say he did Cause he opened up his heart and he poured out the soul that most other folks always keep hidden Yes he did Long as I live I'll never forget, he's the first singer that I ever met They say he's the greatest one yet, I don't know But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that ain't so They tell me Hank he wasn't much on the looks, I don't know Lord I've seen his picture in lots of song books, but I still don't know They say he was weak for the women and wine, and he looked plump, heart sick all of the time His songs put goose bumps right on my spine, that's all I know They say Hank sung a real good song, and I'll say he did Cause he opened up his heart and he poured out the soul that most other singers always keep hidden Yes he did Long as I live I'm gonna regret, I can't remember him singing me to bed They say he's the greatest one yet, I don't know But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that ain't so No I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised at all if this all ain't so
