Rollin' and Ramblin' (The Death of Hank Williams)

Lyrics

Folks in Nashville slammed the door
 Said, "We don't want you anymore
 Find your own way down the road
 Pack your fiddle and your guitar
 Take a train or take a car
 Find someone else to keep you from the cold"
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 Women loved him half to death
 He sang with whiskey on his breath
 His heart broke like a child's
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 The sun has set out on the trail
 The hobo's drifted up the rail
 He's taken his last ride
 ♪
 Oh, he always sang the blues
 Like it was all he ever knew
 He didn't sing at all that night
 He was pale and as he dozed
 He didn't know his time had closed
 Slumped in the back seat to the right
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 Women loved him half to death
 He sang with whiskey on his breath
 His heart broke like a child's
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 The sun has set out on the trail
 The hobo's drifted up the rail
 He's taken his last ride
 ♪
 So they send him on night train, South
 Through the cities and the rural routes
 Just one more place to go
 Ah, the whistle sang the bluest note
 Like it came from his own throat
 Moanin' sad and cryin' low
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 Women loved him half to death
 He sang with whiskey on his breath
 His heart broke like a child's
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 The sun has set out on the trail
 Hobo's drifted up the rail
 He's taken his last ride
 Rollin' and ramblin'
 The sun has set out on the trail
 Hobo's drifted up the rail
 He's taken his last ride
 Oh, oh
 Oh-oh-oh
 Oh, oh
