Goodbye Hank Williams, my friend
I didn't know you,
but I've been in places you've been
He sang from his heart
And he took the pain for all his fans
Who watched the pain in his heart
And then they clapped their hands
In Richmond, where they'd just been
For some seeds could not be found
But they planned to see him again
The next time in town
Hardly nobody knew that night
How soon they'd be crying
Hardly nobody knew that night
Angle Williams was dying
Whis key took the heartbreak
From too, too many broken dreams
What pain wasn't taken by whiskey
Was given by too much more pain
Hardly nobody knew that night
How soon we'd be crying
Hardly nobody knew that night
Angle Williams was dy ing
Goodbye, Angle Williams, my friend
I didn't know you
But I've been places you've been
Hardly nobody knew that night,
how soon they'd be crying
Hardly nobody knew that night,
Hank Williams was dy ing
Goodbye Hank Williams, my friend
I didn't know you,
but I've been places you've been
Goodbye, Hank Williams, my friend
