Текст песни Bob Wills Is Still the King (Waylon Jennings) с переводом

Here’s a song I wrote on a plane

Between Dallas and Austin goin' to El Paso, whoops.

Now this is what gave us the idea to come down here,

This is a song about a guy that probably did as much

For our kind of music as anybody.

Well, the Honky Tonks in Texas

Were my natural second home

The way you tip your hat to the ladies

In the rose of San Antone.

I grew up on music

That we call western swing

It don’t matter whose in Austin

Bob Wills is still the king.

Lawd, I can still remember

The way things were back then

In spite of all the hard times

I’d live it all again.

To hear the Texas Playboys

And Tommy Duncan sing

Makes me proud to be from Texas

Where Bob Wills is still the king.

You can hear the Grand Ol Opry

In Nashville, Tennessee

It’s the home of country music

On that we all agree.

But when you cross that ol' Red River hoss

That just don’t mean a thing

Once youre down in Texas

Bob Wills is still the king.

If you aint never been there

Then I guess you ain’t been told

That you just can’t live in Texas

Unless you got alot of soul.

It’s the home of Willie Nelson

The home of western swing

He’ll be the first to tell you

Bob Wills is still the king…
