Blue Rodeo
(The Hank Snow song)


There's a man a legend I know a poet and writer of songs
Born in Brooklyn Nova Scotia a true blue canadian boy
He sang of love's lost hi-ways his big hit was called 'Movin On'
It's Hank Snow the Singing Ranger Liverpool's own pride and joy

Chorus:
Now there must be a place up in heaven
Where the sidewalks are all paved with gold
Boxcars and old silver engines
Where pickers and gone cowboys go

Where there's rhinestones and a stage like the opry
And the northern lights light up the show
To see Hank sing in God's choir
In a star studded blue rodeo

Verse:
Now Hank and his Rainbow Ranch Boys
Picked his flat-top like nobody could
He captured the heart of the American Dream
And yes sir he's been everywhere

Now each time I sing and play my guitar
And delightfully so for the crowd
I'll belt out my 'Old Nova Scotia Home'
And somehow I can see Hank standin beside me
Pickin and a grinnin just singing along

Chorus:
Now there must be a place up in heaven
Where the sidewalks are all paved with gold
Boxcars and old silver engines
Where pickers and gone cowboys go

Where there's rhinestones and a stage like the opry
And the Northern Lights light up the show
To see Hank sing in God's choir
In a star studded blue rodeo
