Hank Williams, Jr. - Hand Me Down Lyrics

I went down to the country music hall of fame
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 it's 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

I went down to the country music hall of fame
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 it's 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
