[E]
Hank, let's talk about your daddy, tell me how your mama loved that man.
[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 bandits, [A] just the music [E] and the man.
Now Hank, you just gotta [Em] tell me, did your daddy really write all them songs?
[A] I don't deserve no answer, Hawks, let's light up and just [Em] move along.
[E] Do you [B] think he wrote them about your mommy, [A] or about the man who [Em] done her wrong?
[E] He loved that.
[Em] [A] Back then they called him crazy, now they call [Em] him a saint.
[A] Now the ones that called him crazy, [F#] still riding [B] on his lane.
[E] Well if he was here right now, [Em] Mosephus, [E] would he think that we were right?
Do you think he might?
[Em] [A]
Don't you know he would, Watausha, be [Em] right here by our side.
[E] [B] If we left for a show in Provo, [A] he'd be the first one on the bus and [E] ready to ride.
That's one to go, Hawks.
Wherever he is, I hope he's happy, oh I hope he's doing well.
He is, cause [A] he's got one arm around my mama now, he sure did love Miss Audrey and [Em] Raisin Hill.
[E] [B] I won't ask you no more questions, [A] sure as only [E] Hank can tell.
[A] Back then they called him crazy, now they call [E] him a saint.
Most [Em] folk don't [A] know that they fired him from the opera, [F#] not cause he's [B] great as they mean.
[Em] I love to tell you about lovesickness, how Miss Audrey loved that man.
[E] [Em] You [A] know I've always loved to listen to the stories about that rifted [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!
[E] Woo!
