Star studded blue Rodeo/The Hank Snow song
There's a man a legend I know
a Poet and writer of songs
Born in Brooklyn Nova Scotia
a true blue Canadian boy
He sang of love's lost highways
his big hit was called "Movin On"
It's Hank Snow the Singin Ranger
Liverpool's own pride and joy
Chorus:
Now there must be a place up in heaven
where the sidewalks are all paved with gold
Boxcars and old silver engines
where pickers and gone Cowboys go
Where there's rhinestones and stage like the Opry
and the Northern Lights light up the show
To see Hank sing in God's choir
in a star studded blue Rodeo
Short musical break:
Now Hank and his Rainbow Ranch Boys
picked his flat-top like nobody could
He captured the heart of the American Dream
and yes sir he's been everywhere
Now each time I sing and play my guitar
and delightfully so for the crowd
I'll belt out my Old Nova Scotia Home
and somehow I can see Hank standing beside me
just a pickin and a grinning singing along
