Hank Williams - I Was With Red Foley lyrics

(There'll be peace in the valley for him how we pray I was with Red Foley the night he pa**ed away) We was down in Port Wayne Indiana the night the Lord took Red away And we had to get there a little early cause we had a matinee And when Red first went on stage it seemed that he moved and talked a little slow But of course he went on to do his regular great show So soon the afternoon show was over with and we all went down the street and ate Red said he wasn't very hungry but he came along anyway And we got done eaten and came back to the last show But the thing just would be Red's very last well who's to know And when he went on the stage for his own ten thousandth time We was all back to the curtains there just shootin' the lines But when he sang Peace In The Valley there was such a quiet still I know I'll never forget it and anyone that was there never will Well soon the last show was over with And I went back to the hotel and Red gave me a call I told him to come on over I was just starin' at the four walls So he came over to my room he was just next door there Lit a cigarette and sat down in the chair And he started talkin' bout all the worries that a country music singer has I said old Red I reckon it's not that bad He said yeah you're workin' a lot now and you'll have 'em some day Your dad had 'em and I have 'em I guess it's just meant that way Then he got up and these were the last words he said I'm awful tired now Hank and I've got to go to bed And while I layed there with Red just a few steps away The angels came and took him into the last golden stage (There'll be peace in the valley for him how we pray I was with Red Foley the night he pa**ed away)
