[E]
Hank, let's talk about your daddy.
Tell me how your mama loved that name.
[A]
Well, just break out a bottle of horse.
I'll tell you about the drifting [E] cowboy band.
[B] We won't talk about the habits,
[A] just the music [E] and the man.
[Em] [A] [E] Now Hank, you just gotta [Em] tell me,
[E] did your daddy really write [Em] all them songs?
I [A]
don't deserve no answer, Hoss.
Let's light up and just [Em] move along.
[E] Do you [B] think he wrote them about your mama,
[A] or about the man who [Em] done her [E] wrong?
He wrote that.
[Em] [A] Yeah, back then they called him crazy.
Now they say call [Em] him a saint.
[A] Now the ones that call him crazy
[F#] still writing [B] on his name.
Well, if [E] he was here right now most of us,
would he think that we were right?
Do you think he might?
[Em] Don't [A]
you know he would walk tall,
be [Em] right here by our side?
[E] [B] If we left for a show at Provo,
[A] he'd be the first one on the bus and [E] ready to ride.
That's one to go, Hoss.
Where ever he is, I hope he's happy.
Oh, I hope he's doing [Em] well.
[E] He is, cause [A] he's got one arm around my mama now,
and he sure did love Miss Audrey and [Em] Raisin Hill.
Well, [B] I won't ask you no more questions.
[A] Stories only [E] Hank can tell.
Back [A]
then they called him crazy.
Now they say call [E] him a saint.
Most [Em] folk don't [A] know that they fired him from the opera.
[F#] Not cause, [B] greatest pain.
[Em] I love to tell you about the love sickness,
how Miss Audrey loved that man.
You [A] know I've always loved to listen
to the stories about that ripped in [Em] cowboy band.
That man.
You know [B] when we get right down to it,
[A] still the most wanted outlaw [E] in the land.
[Em] Yeah!
