Hank Williams Sr.

Elvis and Hank have always been my favs. here's some Hank lyrics you don't have yet. I didn't know of any other way of getting them to you:

Help Me Unesrstand


A little girl prayed at the close of the day
'Cause her daddy had gone far away
On her little face was a look of dispair
I stood there and listened and I heard this prayer

My momma says daddy has brought us to shame
I'm never no more to mention his name
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Oh heavenly father help me understand

Spoken:
You know friends I wonder how many homes are broken tonight
and just how many tears are shead
By some little word of anger that never should have been said
I'd like to tell you a story of a family I once knew
We'll call em' Mary and William and their little daughter Sue
Now Mary was just a plain mother and Bill well he was the usual dad
And they had their little family quarrells like everybody else
but neither one really got mad
Then one day somethin' happened. It was nothing of course but
One word led to another and the last word let to a devorice

Now here were two grown up people that failed to use common sense
They strenghtened their own selfish pride at little Sue's expense
You know she didn't ask to be brought to this world to drift from pillar to post
But a divorce never stops to consider the ones it hurts the most
There'd be a lot more honest lovin' in this wicked old world today
If just a few parted parents could hear little Sue say…

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Oh heavenly father help me understand

Low Down Blues

Lord I went to the doctor he took one look
He said the trouble with you ain't in my book
I'll tell you what it is but it ain't good news
You got an awful bad case of the low down blues

I got the mean old miseries in my soul
I would jump in the river but the water's too cold
I walked the gloor till I wore out my shoes
Lord they'll killing me I mean them low down blues

I never knew a man could feel so bad
I never knew living could be so sad
All I do is sit and cry
Lord I'd have to get better before I could die

I got the mean old miseries in my soul
I would jump in the river but the water's too cold
I walked the gloor till I wore out my shoes
Lord they'll killing me I mean them low down blues

One Day You'll Call My Name
(My most faviorate of all)

One day you'll call my name and I won't answer
One day you'll reach for me and I won't be there
You've grown tired of all the love I gave you
But someday you'll wish that I still cared

All these years how I've loved you
And I know I'd still claim you for my own
One day you'll call my name and I won't answer
For one day you'll find yourself alone

When your hair has turned all to silver *
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
Please remember darling what I told you
There'll be no one there to dry your tears

They'll come a time in your life dear
When you'll need someone who will care
One day you'll call my name and I won't answer
For one day you'll find that I'm not there

The line: "When your hair has turned all to silver" was added by me
The origional line was:
When your blond hair turns to silver.
My wife had dark brown hair. That's why I substituded it.

Why Should we Try Anymore

What's the use to deny we been livin' a lie
That we should have admited before
We were just victims of a half hearted love
So why should we try anymore

The vows that we make are only to break
We drift like a wave from the shore
The kisses we steal we know are not real
So why should we try anymore

MUSIC

The dreams that we knew can never come true
They're gone to return no more
False love loke ours fades with the flowers
So why should we try anymore

Our story's so old, again has been told
On the past let's close the door
And smile don't regret, but live and forget
There's no use to try anymore

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Darlin', Lets Turn Back The Years

Darlin' let's turn back the years
And go back to yesterday
Let's pretend that time has stopped
And I didn't go away

We had a love that was happy
It wasn't meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die
So darlin' let's turn back the years

… These verses added by Roger Dale Owens (me - Access2000wiz@yahoo.com)

Darlin' let's turn back the years
Let's renew our vows again
I love you so please don't say no
We were the best of friends

I wasn't your only one
And that drove me away from you
The one you thought loved you more
Has proved to be untrue

I cried and forgave you
Hoping you’d do the same for me
I know one day you'll settle down
With me you'll always be free

So, darling let's turn back the years
Like yesterday so bright
We'll be as happy as we used to be
Your love will turn on the light
