Tim Hardin: Tribute To Hank Williams Good bye Hank Williams, my friend Well I didn't know you But i've been in places you've been In Richmond where he just been For some seats could not be found Still they planned to see him again Next time Hank Williams in town Hardly nobody knew that night how soon they'd be crying Hardly nobody knew that night Hank Williams was dying He sang from his heart He took the pain for his fans He took the pain in his heart And then they cry and they clapped their hands So good bye Hank Williams, my friend I didn't know you But i've been in places you've been Chauffeur drove the car that night To the town next in line for the show With his name in the deep blue lights And the people with tickets to go Hardly nobody knew that night how soon they'd be crying Hardly nobody knew that night Hank Williams was dying Good bye Hank Williams, my friend I didn't know you But i've been in places you've been
