[g] a prodigal son once [c] strayed from his [g] father
To travel a land of [a] hunger and [d] pain
And [g] now I can see the [c] end of my [g] journey
Im going to [d] heaven a-[g] gain.
I leave you the day, to help all your neighbors
I leave you the night, to solemnly pray
So try to repent and ask for forgiveness
Well meet up in heaven, someday.
Goodbye to this world, with all it's sorrows
Goodbye to the fields, that I used to roam
Im going away where, life is eternal
My shepherd is callin me home.
From out of the sky, he's coming to meet me
To wash all my sins and call me his own
His servants will bring, a ring for my finger
And never no more will I roam.
Hank Williams (1923-1953) is considered one of the greatest country music songwriters of all time. Born in Alabama, USA, Williams began his musical career playing in local venues and radio stations. In 1947 he signed with MGM Records and quickly achieved success with songs like «Your Cheatin' Heart» and «Hey, Good Lookin'». His music was characterized by melancholic melodies, sincere lyrics, and a powerful and emotive voice. Williams sold millions of records during his short career, influencing generations of country artists and becoming an icon of American music. Among his most important albums are «Honky Tonkin'» (1952) and «The Essential Hank Williams» (posthumous compilation).
