I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
And Those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me,
Hank and Tennessee.
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be,
So what do you do with good ol’ boys like me?
Thanks for the post. I remember that song. RIP Don Williams.
It’s hard for me to pick a fave. A fun song of his I always enjoy hearing is LOOZIANNA SATURDAY NIGHT (Sic). “...Git down the fiddle and git down the bow; kick off yer shoes and throw em on the floor...”
My favorite Don Williams song.
I was able to hear him twice in concert - the first time was at the Bama Theater here in Tuscaloosa. The second time was just before he retired, over in Georgia. Going to hear him in person was like being invited into his den, or to sit on his back porch. He was very personal, very engaged with his audience.
“By the light of the radio by my bed, with Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head”
