Hank And Fred


Loudon Wainwright Iii Lyrics

 

Hank And Fred by Loudon Wainwright Iii


On my way Thursday from the Y I heard it in the car
Bob Edwards broke the news tonight yes he of NPR
Driving through Montgomery I hung my head and cried
Then visited Hank Williams grave the day Fred Rodgers
Died.
Zelda Sayre, F. 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 genius courage
Kindness pride
I felt them all around me there the day Fred Rodgers
Died
And we mocked King Friday the thirteenth on Saturday
Night Live
But once I started crying it was pretty hard to drive
On 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 runs by the river it carries cotton,
Soldiers, slaves
Hank's real name was Hiram we all could feel his pain
And Fred McFeely Rodgers knew how to talk to a train
And 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 Rodgers
Died.
I visited Hank Williams grave when Mr. Rodgers died.
