Manny's Hat Song - Jerry Jeff Walker

Manny was a maker of hats

 

Manny was much more than that

 

He was the kind of guy

You and I would want for a friend

 

Manny was a regular guy

 

With an old soul look in his eye

 

He was a man of word

 

And true to himself to the end

 

Manny liked to laugh and share a good story or two

 

If he's a making you a hat

He needs to know some things about you

 

He'd say Set yourself down

 

Tell us what you're thinking about

 

Your hat says something about you

 

Before you even open your mouth

 

Manny had a funky hat shop

 

South of town where everyone stopped

 

To sit and chat get a hat

And maybe get a new attitude

 

He loved to sit up front and greet folks

 

Take their measurements and laugh at their jokes

 

You couldn't stop by without staying there all afternoon

 

His wife Norma she sat in the back

 

Sewing sweatbands in all of his hats

 

She listened to the radio

Some times I'd sing her a tune

 

Manny liked to laugh and share a good story or two

 

If he's a making you a hat

He needs to know some things about you

 

He'd say Set yourself down

 

Tell us what you're thinking about

 

Your hat says something about you

 

Before you even open your mouth

 

He made hats for a lot of great men

 

But none were finer then he made for a friend

 

He made 'em the old way

Steamed and creased 'em by hand

 

He'd take your old hat and make her brand new

 

He'd shape it any way you wanted him too

 

He'd fix it up fine with a porcupine-beaded hatband

 

You know his hats were worn all over the world

 

By real cowboy women's and pearls

 

He even made one for me he jokingly called the old friend

 

Well when old friends disappear

I sometimes wonder where

 

I'd like to think maybe there

Just somewhere round the bend

 

But Manny's in heaven I bet

 

I'll go you one better yet

 

I'll bet money John B

And Manny are talking God into a hat

 

Old Manny used to take me aside

 

He'd say Jerry Jeff you know how to write

 

Why don't you make up a hat song

And do it just the way that you do

 

Well now that old Manny has gone

 

I finally made him up Manny's hat song

 

'Cause it's the best way to

Keep your old friend alive in a room

 

Manny liked to laugh and share a good story or two

 

If he's a making you a hat

He needs to know some things about you

 

He'd say Set yourself down

 

Tell us what you're thinking about

 

Your hat says something about you

 

Before you even open your mouth

 

Manny was a maker of hats

 

Manny was much more than that

 

He was the kind of guy

 

You and I would want for a friend
