Hand Me Down - Hank Williams Jr.

They had asked me to bring them more of daddy’s things

They said,"Hank you know someday you may go in here with him"

And I thought about the note he wrote but I’ve never told none of them

I’ve got songs of his no one has seen and momentoes that sure chill

But that note I found in his guitar case made me cry like a wipperwill

He said son this is my old guitar and its for you only to play

And I hope you make it ring and talk in our good ole family way

And if you make it to the top Bocephus, boy I’ll be so proud

But listen to me son, when the time comes take this guitar and hand me down

Hand me down if your weary, hand me down son if you get sick or tired.

Hand me down when the time comes

Don’t hang on to long to these sad ole songs

Hand me down

So I took his note and put it back into his guitar case

And I realized how long I’ve been on the road and how many shows I’ve played

And sometimes late at night standing in front of some big crowd

I swear I’ve heard him call my name and tell me Hand me down

Hand me down if your weary.

Hand me down son if you just get tired,

hand me down my son to your son

Teach him all your songs and how his granddaddy moaned and tell that boy to

carry on

You teach him all your songs

And how his granddaddy moaned

And tell that boy hand me down
