Lyrics:
1. Now the hillbilly Shakespeare rolls into town
Cadillac clapping like a thunder cloud
Picking like the devil on a Martin guitar
Nudie suit shining like a neon star
Twistin’ them love-sick tunes
King of the back wood blues
CHORUS: He haunts the Opry Stage on Saturday nights
Bourbon Whiskey in the air stomping out the foot lights
with that Alabama twang - says it’s good to be alive in Music City (Music City)
Oh the drifting cowboys kick it on in - like an old freight train T-Tot & the band
Gonna rock your soul with a great big grin - shouting HEY GOOD LOOKIN’
He sings his son-on-on-ong - with that Honky Tonk mo-oh-oh-oan
There’s a cry in the steel - like a lonesome whipporwill - when the music sends a chill
It’s the Hill-bill-y Shakespeare - Ah Hail the Hill-billy Shakespeare
2. Kawliga sat down and he ordered up a beer
Saying what’s that music that’s you’re playing in here
Hank walked in the door - left the place in shock
pulled out a pistol and he shot the juke box
Twistin’ them love-sick tunes
King of the back wood blues
REPEAT CHORUS / lead
TAG: He sings his song-on-on-ong - with that Honky Tonk mo-oh-oh-oan
There’s a cry in the steel - like a lonesome whipporwill - when the music sends a chill
It’s the Hill-bill-y Shakespeare – (Ah Hail the Hill-billy Shakespeare)
Now the hillbilly Shakespeare rolls into town - Cadillac clapping like a thunder cloud
