Hank Hank & Hank

[Jim Colyer]

Hank Williams was his name
He sang your cheating heart
He died at twenty-nine
Though he perfected his art
He came from Alabama
Took Nashville by a storm
The king of all the Hanks
A legend was born

Hank Hank & Hank
Hanks were everywhere
They made country music
They did their share
They were the singers
Who deserve our thanks
Put country on the map
Hank Hank & Hank

Hank Thompson was his name
Sang the wild side of life
Sang of honky tonk angels
How they'd never make a wife
Then there was Hank Locklin
Sang about his fraulein
That lovely German girl
He left her behind

There's young Hank Jr.
Second generation
Destined to carry on
A family tradition

Hank Hank & Hank
Hanks were everywhere
They made country music
They did their share
They were the singers
Who deserve our thanks
Put country on the map
Hank Hank & Hank

Oh yeah, I forgot
The great Hank Snow
He kept moving on
A Canadian, you know
