Well in 1950 I took a little nip
Along with Mr. Williams on the way to Mississipp'
We was stacked 8 deep in a Packard limousine
And we met this promoter in the town of New Orleans
Now the man told Daddy that he had what it took
Cause he'd run through a 10 and he'd run through a 20
And he'd run through a 100 just as fast as it would go
Like a big dose of sauce to a little bitty fella
He'd spend a 1000 dollars on a 100 dollar show
Hank looked at me with a funny lookin' grin,
