Lyrics Hank Williams - THERE'S NOTHING AS SWEET AS MY BABY

Lyrics Hank Williams - THERE'S NOTHING AS SWEET AS MY BABY

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

Golden hair and big blue eyes she could win a beauty prize
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

If I ever lose her I'll lay me down and die
If sugar seems sweet then you ought to meet
My honey coated sweetie pie

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

I feel like a honey bee, when she's buzzing round with me
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

Got pounds of candy kisses, but I can't spare an ounce
She's sweeter than wine and brother she's mine
And that's the only thing that counts

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sakes
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

Lyrics Hank Williams - Half As Much

Lyrics Hank Williams - Half As Much

If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Lyrics Hank Williams - I'm A Long Gone Daddy

Lyrics Hank Williams - I'm A Long Gone Daddy

All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and so I'm getting out
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I been in the doghouse so doggone long
That when I get a kiss I think that something's wrong
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right
You go get yourself a man that wants to fight
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
You start your jaws a-wagging and it never stops
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I remember back when you were nice and sweet
Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
I'm a-gonna do some riding on the midnight train
I'm taking everything except my ball and chain
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow

Lyrics Hank Williams - Lovesick Blues

Lyrics Hank Williams - Lovesick Blues

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord, since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do, all I do is sit and sigh "Oh Lord"
That last long day she said goodbye, well Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems, I've grown so used to you somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the love sick blues

Well I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't care about me
Lord I've tried and I've tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin', this is all I can say

I've got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord, since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do, all I do is sit and sigh, "Oh Lord"
That last long day she said goodbye, well Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart, it seems, I've grown so used to you somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the love sick blues

Lyrics Hank Williams - YOUR CHEATIN' HEART

Lyrics Hank Williams - YOUR CHEATIN' HEART

Your cheatin' heart,
Will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep won't come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin' heart,
Will tell on you

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart,
Will tell on you

Your cheatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away,
The time will come,
When you'll be blue,
Your cheatin' heart,
Will tell on you

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart,
Will tell on you.

This song is hard to pick out on the copy I have. It is pretty scratchy
And a couple of the words I have for lyrics in here may be wrong but I
Think they are right. Email greg if you see a problem with it.

I cried again key: g

(g)teardrops (c)fell the night you (g)said
I love you dear but you are (d)wed
I (g)watched you (c)as you held his (g)hand
Then I turned (d)away and cried again

[Chorus:]
I (c) cried again when I reached (g)home
There sat your picture all a(d)lone
I (g)thought of (c)things that might have (g)been
I bowed my (d)head and cried a(g)gain

I took your letters from the shelf
Then read aloud just to myself
But just before I reached the end
I bowed my head and cried again

Chorus

And heres the reason why I say
Dear, I must throw your things away
For they would only bring me pain
And I'd bow my head and cry again

Chorus

Lyrics Hank Williams - First Year Blues

Lyrics Hank Williams - First Year Blues

Written by ernest tubb 1941. Rec. By E. T. 11-17-41
Key ddemo recorded by hank williams, probably 1949.

(d) now I've been married about six months,
Only six (d7) months you (g) see,
The (a7) first three months, was all ok,
But the last three is killin (d) me,
My wife began her hissin, cut down on her kissin,
And then she failed to (d7) shine my (g) shoes,
My (a7) shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled,
And then I took the first year (d) blues.

(d) well then she started naggin,
She left the sink asaggin,
With dishes (d7) piled up (g) high,
No (a7) food upon the table, she said if she was able,
Shed cook something bye and (d) bye,
Then I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder,
When I (d7) said I (g) do, she (a7) must have read my thinkin,
Her eyes began to blinkin and that gal broke in -(d) - to.

(d) well I heard the dishes crashin,
And I began to dashin, gettin (d7) out of (g) sight,
For (a7) right there was my honey,
On who I'd spent my money, turnin into dy - na - (d) - mite,
Then after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded,
And things began to (d7) simmer (g) down,
I (a7) found myself ableedin, and very much aneedin,
Of stitches taken all a - (d) - round.

(d) well then she started cryin, I felt myself asighin,
And then I took her (d7) in my (g) arms,
I (a7) was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her,
She didn't do a bit of (d) harm,
Now the first six months is over, and I am much the older,
And experienced (d7) with a (g) wife,
If (a7) I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed,
To take it the rest of my (d) life.

Lyrics Hank Williams - Mother Is Gone

Lyrics Hank Williams - Mother Is Gone

In a little pine grove by the old home
There's someone who's restin' alone
And there on the the tomb, these words I read
The words were, 'Mother Is Gone'
Mother is gone to her home
Way up in Heaven above
And my heart's so sad
For the words I read there
The words were, 'Mother Is Gone'
As I stood alone with memories of home
The place I left long, long ago
I returned home but I waited too long
For the words read, 'Mother Is Gone'
My friends did say, before she went away
She called my name over and over
So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above
Over on that other shore
Mother is gone to her home
Way up in heaven above
And my heart's so sad
For the words I read there
The words were, 'Mother Is Gone'

Lyrics Hank Williams - Never Again

Lyrics Hank Williams - Never Again

Oh you know that I've come back and we've tried it all over
But each time my dear, it was worse than before
Now my heart is broke, it's sad and it's sore
So never again will I knock on your door

Oh you know that I love you no other will do
Please tell me darlin' why can't you be true
But now you are gone, it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door

Someday you'll be so lonely and blue
Then you will know just how much I love you
But now you are gone, it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door

Many a night I've cried over you
Hoping and prayin' some day you'd be true
But now you are gone, it's over I know
So never again will I knock on your door

Oh you know that I love you no other will do
Please tell me darlin' why can't you be true
But now you are gone, it's over and so
Never again will I knock on your door

Lyrics Hank Williams - I've Been Down That Road Before

Lyrics Hank Williams - I've Been Down That Road Before

Now friends if you'll just listen to me
You'll get some good hard earned advice
I don't aim to meddle in your business
Just trying to save ya an awful price

You see these teeth that I ain't got
And these knots on my bald head
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um'
There a lying home in bed

Now take the smart-aleck in any town
Of him folks want no part
He acts like his head was only
Made to hold his ears apart

Now he might not like what
I'm bout to say and my words
Might make him sore
But I'm just trying to be helpful
Cause I been down that road before

To bully folks and play mean tricks
Was once my pride and joy
Till one day I was toted home
And mama didn't know her little boy

My head was swelled up so doggone big
I couldn't get it through my front door
Now I ain't talking just ta hear myself
I been down that road before

A little fella about my size
Got tired of being pushed about
So he went to work and when he got through
He'd knocked everyone of my teeth out

One time to many I rubbed him wrong
And he even'd up the score
Now that's what happens when you
Get too big for your britches
I been down that road before

Now when you get to thinking your really smart
There's somebody smarter then you
And no matter how much you boast and brag
You can still learn a thing or two

Go get you some treatments just like I've had
And you wont hanker for more
I've really learned the meaning of living and loving
Cause I've been down that road before

Now the man that walks this rocky road
Usually gets just what he deserves

But he's just a helpless servant to
A master that he servers
Now I've learned to slow my temper down
And not to pick no scraps no more

Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes
Cause I've been down that road before.

Lyrics Hank Williams - Everything's Okay

Lyrics Hank Williams - Everything's Okay

I went to the country just the other day
To see my uncle Bill and sorta pass the time away
I asked him how he'd been since last, I'd passed his way
He rubbed his chin, here's what he had to say

My wife's been sick, the young ones, too
And I'm darn near down with the flu
The cow's gone dry and them hens won't lay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died
The bees got mad and they left the hive
The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The porch rotted down that's more expense
The darned old mule he tore down the fence
The mortgage is due and I can't pay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans
The darn rabbits they got the turnip greens
And my ma-in-law just moved in to stay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

My land's so poor so hard and yeller
You have to set on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbreller
And it rains out here nearly every day
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The wells gone dry and I have to tote the water
Up from the spring about a mile and a quarter
My helper, he quit for the lack of pay
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The house it leaks it needs a new top
When it rains it wets everything we got
The chimney fell down just yesterday
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The corn meals gone and the meat's run out
Got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse
The preacher's comin' Sunday to spend the day
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

The canned stuffs spoiled else the jar's got broke
And all we got left is one old Billy goat
We're gonna have a new baby about the first of may
But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay

My crop it rotted in the ground
I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down
But we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days
So after all, everything's in pretty good shape

Lyrics Hank Williams - Singing Waterfall

Lyrics Hank Williams - Singing Waterfall

There's a singing waterfall
In the mountains far away
That's where I long to be
At the close of everyday
That's where my sweetheart's sleepin'
Down beneath the clay
I often sit and wonder why
The Lord took her away
We'd meet there every evening
When the sun was sinkin' low
And we'd listen to the waters
As they rippled soft and low
And since she's gone to Heaven
I miss her most of all
Tonight my darlin's sleepin'
By the singing waterfall
Last night as I lay dreamin'
I heard my darlin' call
And then I went to meet her
By the singing waterfall
She took me in her arms
Just like she used to do
And then I heard her whisper
"We'll meet beyond the blue"
We'd meet there every evening
When the sun was sinkin' low
And we'd listen to the waters
As they rippled soft and low
And since she's gone to Heaven
I miss her most of all
Tonight my darlin's sleepin'
By the singing waterfall

Lyrics Hank Williams - I'd Still Want You

Lyrics Hank Williams - I'd Still Want You

I could shame you 'til you hide your face
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could tell the world you're doin' wrong
That I was stringin' you along
And if it all were true
I know I'd still want you
This world with me might sympathize
When I got through with all my lies
But I'd be just as blue
'Cause my heart would still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could tell my friends I threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
If I said I'm happy to be free
The only one I'd fool is me
Because it isn't true
I know I'd still want you
What's the use to say that you're no good
When I'd crawl back if I could
No matter what you do
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could smile and say that I don't care
And then go home and pull my hair
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could say that someone put me wise
And get revenge by telling lies
But when I got all through
I know I'd still want you
If the things I said was to break your heart
I'd be the first to take your part
'Cause if all these lies were true
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord

Lyrics Hank Williams - I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You

Lyrics Hank Williams - I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You

Everybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you 'round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together, we can find a brighter way
In my heart, I know that you'll come through
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you
All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you proved to be untrue
Darlin', I could never be ashamed of you

Theres a mighty battle coming and its well now on its way.
Itll be fought at armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.
In the book of revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
Therell be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.

(refrain)
All the way from the gates of eden to the battle of armageddon
Theres been trobles and tribulation, therell be sorrow and despair.
He has said "ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with him at last.

Turn the pages of your bible, in st. Matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three.
In our saviors blessed words he said on earth, he prophesised,
For he spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.

(refrain)

Therell be nation against nation, therell be war and rumor of war.
Therell be great signs in heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.
Oh, the hearts of been shall fail them, therell be gnashing of the teeth.
Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy at the saviors feet.

(refrain)

Lyrics Hank Williams - I Can't Get You Off My Mind

Lyrics Hank Williams - I Can't Get You Off My Mind

I can't get you off of my mind
When I try, I'm just wastin' my time
Lord, I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
Well, you think you would leave me behind
But I guess you're the good timin' kind
Do you think that it's smart to jump from heart to heart
When I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
When I try, I'm just wastin' my time
Lord, I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
You believe that a true love is blind
So you fool every new love you find
You've got stars in your eyes, but they can't hide the lies
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
When I try, I'm just wastin' my time
Lord, I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind

Lyrics Hank Williams - Next Sunday Darling Is My Birthday

Lyrics Hank Williams - Next Sunday Darling Is My Birthday

Next Sunday, darling is my birthday
A day that should be free from care
Best wishes and congratulations
But only sorrow fills the air

While friends are singing happy birthday
There'll be smile upon my face
But when they're gone, the smile will vanish
A broken heart will take it's place

Another year has come and gone now
The plans I made have gone a stray
The day that should be filled with laughter
Will only be another day

The little house we planned together
Is empty now without you dear
But in my dreams you're there beside me
So let me dream that you are here

Lyrics Hank Williams - Moanin' The Blues

Lyrics Hank Williams - Moanin' The Blues

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin'
Moa-oanin' the blues.

I wrote a nice, long letter
Sayin' mama please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some
And all I [am] do is moan,
I been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must of been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin'
Moa-oanin' the blues.

If you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll moanin' moa-oanin' the blues.

Aw! baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good
And I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin' moa-oanin' the blues.

Lyrics Hank Williams - A House Without Love

Lyrics Hank Williams - A House Without Love

For years we both have lived on pride, dear
And we agree that love is gone
Why, oh why do we keep tryin'
A house without love is not a home.

The love light in your eyes has faded
And I'm contented just to roam
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure
A house without love is not a home.

No matter where our footsteps wander
I know we'll both be all alone
With the pride that came between us
A house without love is not a home.

The simple things have gone forever
We wanted wealth to call our own
And now we've reached the hour of parting
A house without love is not a home.

Lyrics Hank Williams - I'm Going Home

Lyrics Hank Williams - I'm Going Home

I'm going home (just hank and his guitar circa 1950)
When my work here is o'er
And trials come no more
On that great day I'm going home
To live forever more, just o'er on heaven's shore
When my life here is o'er I'm going home

[Chorus:]
I'm going home, I'm going home
When my life here is o'er I'm going home
Won't it be so sweet, to rest at Jesus' feet
When my life here is o'er I'm going home

I'm traveling in the light
And my way is clear and bright
Some glad day I'm going home
Heading for the pearly gates for there my savior waits
When my life here is o'er I'm going home

As I travel down life's road
So heavy is my load
But some glad day I'm going home
I'll meet my loved ones there, in that land so bright and fair
When my life here is o'er I'm going home

[Chorus:]
