****************** BOB WILLS IS STILL THE KING ******************
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
E A E
Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
B
Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone
A E
I grew up on music that we called western swing
B E
It don’t matter who’s in Austin,Bob Wills is still the king
Verse 2:
E A E
Lord i can still remember,the way things were back then
B
In spite of all the hard times,i’d live it all again
A E
To hear the Texas playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
B E
Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the king
Verse 3:
A E
You can hear the Grand Ol’ Opry in Nashville Tennessee
B
It’s the home of country music,on that we all agree
E A E
But when you cross that ol’ Red River hoss that just don’t mean a thing
B E
Cause’ once you’re down in Texas,Bob Wills is still the king
Verse 4:
A E
Well if you ain’t never been there then i guess you ain’t been told
B
That you just can’t live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul
E A E
It’s the home of Willie Nelson,the home of western swing
B E
He’ll be the first to tell you,Bob Wills is still the king
