San Antonio Blues (1940 - Collector Sound) - Hank Williams

Spoken intro:

Hi, neighbors, this is our new album

And we’ve chosen songs from the great Bob Wills

Who is a legend

As far as we in the business are concerned

And I know, people across the United States

You know, we finally call him the «Old Man»

Because to us, that’s just what he is

You’ll always know him by the lonesome fiddle

The white hat, the high-heeled boots

The cigar smoke, and some of these wonderful songs

We hope you like our version of 'em

As we pay tribute to one of the greatest of all time Bob Wills

Deep within my heart lies a melody

A song of old San Antone

Where in dreams I live with a memory

Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue up above

A moonlit path that only she would know

Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart

Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart

Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know

Still live in my heart all alone

And that moonlit pass BY the Alamo

And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

It was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue up above

A moonlit path that only she would know

Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart

Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart

Speak once again of my love, my own
