Subject: Lyr Req: Loudon Wainwright's Hank and Fred From: michaelr Date: 13 Jul 05 - 07:59 PM Heard this song (from LWIII's new CD "Here Come the Choppers") while driving recently, and almost had to pull off the road because of sudden moisture impeding my vision. Lyric sample: Driving through Montgomery I hung my head and cried I visited Hank Williams' grave The day Fred Rogers died Can anyone post the full text? It's a killer song Cheers, Michael |

Subject: Lyr Add: HANK AND FRED (Loudon Wainwright) From: michaelr Date: 14 Jul 05 - 08:28 PM HANK AND FRED (Loudon Wainwright III) On my way Thursday from the Y, I heard it in the car Bob Edwards broke the news to me -- yes, he of NPR Driving through Montgomery I hung my head and cried Then I visited Hank Williams' grave the day Fred Rogers died Zelda Sayre and Scott Fitzgerald lived somewhere in this old town Nat King Cole was born here, Rosa Parks stayed sitting down Black and white; death, booze and music; courage, kindness, pride Oh I felt them all around me there the day Fred Rogers died And we mocked King Friday the Thirteenth on Saturday Night Live But once I started crying it was pretty hard to drive One New Year's Day Hank slipped away, slumped over in the back Oh I hope he had his cardigan on in that Cadillac When you look out from the hilltops you can see Confederate graves And the railroad that runs by the river that carried cotton, soldiers, slaves Hank's real name was Hiram, we all could feel his pain And Fred McFeely Rogers knew how to talk to a train How we mocked King Friday the Thirteenth on Saturday Night Live But once I started crying it was pretty hard to drive Driving through Montgomery I hung my head and cried Then visited Hank Williams' grave the day Fred Rogers died I visited Hank Williams' grave when Mister Rogers died Thanks Brakn!
