Hank
Hank gave it to daddy
And daddy gave it to me
With brand new strings
And an Abilene
When I was seventeen
My soul caught the hunger
My heart felt the fire
When I heard
I Saw The Light
And I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Those old melodies
On those old six strings
Mean so much more to me
Than anything
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Back in Illinois
In 1948
A little boy's whole world changed
When he started to play
His soul caught the hunger
And his heart felt the fire
When he heard
I Saw The Light
And I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Those old melodies
On those old six strings
Mean so much more to me
Than anything
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Wealth Won't Save Your Soul
And Jesus Died For Me
May You Never Be Alone
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Those old melodies
On those old six strings
Mean so much more to me
Than anything
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Hank gave it to daddy
And daddy gave it to me
And daddy gave it to me
With brand new strings
And an Abilene
When I was seventeen
My soul caught the hunger
My heart felt the fire
When I heard
I Saw The Light
And I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Those old melodies
On those old six strings
Mean so much more to me
Than anything
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Back in Illinois
In 1948
A little boy's whole world changed
When he started to play
His soul caught the hunger
And his heart felt the fire
When he heard
I Saw The Light
And I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Those old melodies
On those old six strings
Mean so much more to me
Than anything
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Wealth Won't Save Your Soul
And Jesus Died For Me
May You Never Be Alone
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Those old melodies
On those old six strings
Mean so much more to me
Than anything
Hey, that's what daddy gave to me
Hank gave it to daddy
And daddy gave it to me
