There's a Little Bit of Hank in Me

Charley Pride · There's a Little Bit of Hank in Me [RCA Victor] [1980]

(John Schweers)



Well Hank, I never met you but I sure heard you sing

At a little bitty port down in Mississippi you filled my heart with dreams

I got an old guitar and I learned how to sing as you did the Lovesick Blues

So Hank, if you're listenin' there's one just for you.



There's a little bit of Hank in me

'Cause I caught it in my voice of the radio '53

And I've done your songs in the cotton fields and on coast to coast TV

And every time I sing Kaw-Liga there's a little bit of Hank in me.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I'll bet I've done Your Cheatin' Heart at least a million times

And Hank, you're still the jukebox king from LA to Caroline

No music has no boundary, it comes from the heart

And where my music comes from Hank you play the leading part.



There's a little bit of Hank in me

'Cause I caught it in my voice of the radio '53

And I've done your songs in the cotton fields and on coast to coast TV

And every time I sing Kaw-Liga there's a little bit of Hank in me.



And every time I sing Kaw-Liga there's a little bit of Hank in me...
