Songtext: "Mel Tillis"

(zur Melodie von "Detroit City" von... na, wem wohl?

I heard about the death of M-M-Mel Tillis
The man who called himself "Stottering Boy"
He wrote some country hits
Not one of them was shit
And with his stottering he brought some joy

        Mel Tillis went home
        Mel Tillis went home
        M-M-Mel Tillis went home

He wrote about the cars in Detroit City
That became a huge hit for Bobby Bare
He wrote 'bout Ruby's love for Kenny Rogers
And sang his songs on stages here and there

        Mel Tillis went home
        Mel Tillis went home
        M-M-Mel Tillis went home

        M-M-Mel Tillis went home
