Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: I Uncle John
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Hank Williams Jr.



I'd like to tell a story if you folks wouldn't mind



But this one is true and it really happened in that little hometown of mine



There was a kind old colored feller who the folks was always fond



I don't even remember what his last name was we always

just called him Uncle John



Why I remember when I was little I used to go and see him nearly every day



Just to sit and hear his stories an' while some time away



Why he was in his height of Glory when there was children around his feet



I've seen him laugh right out loud and say Lord God

your children show is sweet



I know in his big wide world there must be kind folks by the bushel



But I just believe that in this one old man Lord put something special



Why I've seen times when folks was sick that the old

man would walk for miles



Just to offer his assistance and try to help out a little while



He was always doin' things like that givin' when he couldn't afford



Funny thing was though he never did ask for no pay



Said he was always a workin' for the Lord



Now Uncle John have the sickness that he didn't know about



Folks didn't know whether to tell him or just let him live without



But then one day they decided they oughta let him know



So they asked Doc boy if he go tell him and he said yeah he'd go



He found old John sittin' in his homemade rockin' chair



Thumbin' thru a worn out Bible and readin' little scriptures here and there



The Doc was scared and he was nervous cause he didn't

know quite where to start



Don't you know his conscience fought him he come to

break the old man's heart



But he gathered up his courage and he found the words to say



Uncle John the Lord's comin' and he's gonna take you away



Why there must've been a choir of angels started singin'

in that old man's ears



For a great big smile come on him and his eyes broke out in tears



And he said why Doctor boy that's the most glorious news I ever heard



I've been livin' almost eighty five years now just

to hear them blessed words



Now to know that he's finally callin' me to leave this earthly sod



Why Doc I've just been livin' this old life so's I can get to meet my God
