a man i always wanted to meet

Singer:jones, george

i was thrilled to death

the day that babe ruth signed my baseball bat

i always remember that

the greatest one of all

when i was out in hollywood

john wayne tipped his cowboy hat

and when i got his autograph

i felt ten feet tall

i met the great hank williams one night

backstage at the opy house

he look down and grinned when i said

i'm your biggest fan"
