Bob Wills Is Still the King
     by Waylon Jennings
 C                                     F              C
 Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
                                                          G7
 Where you tip your hat to the ladies and the Rose Of San Antone  
 F                       C
 I grew up on music that we called Western Swing
                                      G7                 C
 It don't matter who's in Austin  Bob Wills is still the king
 
                                F                    C
 Lord I can still remember  the way things were back then
                                                 G7
 In spite of all the hard times  I'd live it all again
    F                           C
 To hear the Texas playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
                                           G7                 C
 Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the king
 
         F                          C
 You can hear the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville Tennessee
                                                 G7
 It's the home of country music, on that we all agree
              C                                   F                 C
 But when you cross that old Red River hoss  that just don't mean a thing
                                       G7                 C
 'Cause once you're down in Texas  Bob Wills is still the king
 
         F                                  C
 Well if you ain't never been there  then I guess you ain't been told
                                                           G7
 That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul
          C                          F               C
 It's the home of Willie Nelson  the home of Western Swing
                                     G7                 C
 He'll be the first to tell you  Bob Wills is still the king
