Saturday Night Music / Bruce Robison / "12 Bar Blues"



Archives: Sonny Boy Can Bely (The Drunk Hank Tapes)

ORIGINALLY POSTED MAY 22, 2012


Hank Jr's drunken 1992 Kansas City concert is something of a legend, which I only heard about this past weekend. 
Recordings of it have made the rounds on the interwebs before. Anyway, Hank is blasted out of his mind and slurs, cusses, makes up words and cusses some more. It's a glorious trainwreck. For your listening pleasure, I've included a link to Bocephus' take on "A Country Boy Can Survive" (which, in parts, is sung "sonny boy can bely"). I've also made an attempt at transcribing what exactly came out of his mouth that night. Enjoy! (?)


Nov. 7, 2016 Update.... the link to the actual mp3 is long dead, but here's a YouTube audio of some of the songs, including the below transcribed gem.



Sonny Boy Can Bely

Mehp

When your friend had to take his girl to a Dan + Shay concert

When they're playing Walker Hayes at the party and you leave before anyone notices you

Every time you fail at securing Turnpike tickets then they announce more shows

How much would you pay to see Keith Urban?
