The Life Story Of Hank Williams
Recorded by Hawkshaw Hawkins
Written by Louis Innis and Hawkshaw Hawkins

C F C
The life of Hank Williams on earth it was brief
G7
Was loaded with laughter sorry and grief
C F C
Devoted his life to bring people joy
G7 C
Only a few knew Hank was a sick boy

F C
On September 17th 1923 Hank Williams was born

On a farm near Georgiana Alabama
G7
Hank was the younger of two children
C
Since his farther was sick from World War One
F
Hank at the age of 9 took it upon himself
C
To make a living for his family

So Hank started selling peanuts
G7 C
And shinning shoes on the street
F
For 4 years Hank made a living this way
C
When he was 13 his family moved to

Montgomery Alabama


Hank continued to sell peanuts and shine shoes
G7
He also got a job on a nearby radio station
C F
Life was quite a struggle for Hank in his early years
C
While other kids were devoting their time
G7
To school and play Hank was busy making a living
C
For his mother father and sister

For about the next ten years

Not much happened to Hank
F C
He was just another country entertainer

Around 1945 he made his first record
G7
Which was Honky Tonk
C
From the day on the star begin to shine
F
And every record from then on
C
Made the stars shine a little brighter
G7
The last five years that Hank recorded a song
C
It automatically became a hit

F C
I know you all remember the song Lovesick Blues

And Jambalaya and many many others

As strange as it may seem one of his latest
G7
Records was I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive
C F
On the first day of January 1953 Hank Williams
C
Passed away in the back seat of his automobile

G7 C
I was to appear on the same show that day

But the news came first that Hank passed away
F C
When they made the announcement it silenced the crowd

In reverence we stood with our heads bowed
G7
Our hearts were sad but the show we did play
C
Cause everyone knew that Hank would
F C
Have wanted it that way

Repeat #1
