Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Jeff

Manny was a maker of hats, was much more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I would want for a
Manny was a regular guy, with an old look in his eye
He was a man of word, and to himself to the end

Manny liked to laugh and share a story or two
If a making you a hat, he needs to know some things about you
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us you're thinking about
hat says something about you, before you even open your mouth"

Manny had a funky hat shop, south of where everyone stopped
To sit and chat, get a hat, and get a new attitude
He loved to sit up front and greet
Take measurements and laugh at their jokes

You couldn't stop by without there all afternoon
His wife she sat in the back,
Sewing sweatbands in all of his
She listened to the radio, times I'd sing her a tune

He made for a lot of great men
But none finer then he made for a friend
He made 'em the old way, steamed, and creased 'em by
He'd take old hat and make her brand new
shape it any way you wanted him too
He'd fix it up fine with a hatband

You know his hats were worn all the world
By real cowboy, and pearls
He even one for me he jokingly called "the old friend"

Well when old friends disappear, I sometimes where
I'd like to think there just somewhere round the bend
But Manny's in heaven I bet, I'll go you one yet
I'll bet money B. and Manny are talking God into a hat

Old used to take me aside,
He'd say Jerry you know how to write
Why don't you make up a hat song and do it just the way you do
Well now that old has gone,
I finally made him up Manny's hat
'Cause the best way to keep your old friend alive in a room

Manny was a maker of hats, was much more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I would for a friend
