God's Own Yodeler - Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]
Up at henrys bar & grill[00:00:12]
On the north side of town[00:00:14]
I saw a man reach up to heaven[00:00:17]
And pull a song on down[00:00:20]
To a smoke filled room of misfits[00:00:22]
Young and old and big and small[00:00:25]
And with the laughing eyes of the buddha[00:00:28]
He shared it with us all[00:00:30]
And every soul in that roadhouse[00:00:34]
Felt the power of his song[00:00:37]
Through lifes joys and sorrows[00:00:40]
He brought us together as one[00:00:42]
They called him gods own yodeler[00:00:45]
The pavarotti of the plains[00:00:47]
Theres no bigger voice in texas[00:00:50]
Don walser was his name[00:00:53]
He was raised out in lamesa[00:01:00]
Just a boy when his mamma died[00:01:02]
With daddy at the mill all night[00:01:05]
In that empty house he cried[00:01:08]
Hed climb up in the oak tree[00:01:11]
To sing his broken heart[00:01:13]
The neighbors gathered in the yard[00:01:16]
Listening in the dark[00:01:19]
Singing songs about west texas[00:01:22]
Cowboys and old john deeres[00:01:25]
Rodeos and drive-ins[00:01:28]
And the thrill of teenage years[00:01:30]
They called him gods own yodeler[00:01:33]
The pavarotti of the plains[00:01:35]
Theres no bigger voice in texas[00:01:38]
Don walser was his name[00:01:41]
From the honky-tonks and dance halls[00:02:30]
To the grand ole opery[00:02:33]
Don walser brought a smile[00:02:36]
To every fan who came to see[00:02:38]
Now its oxygen and wheelchairs[00:02:41]
And trips to the docs in town[00:02:44]
The stays kept getting longer[00:02:47]
He knew he was glory bound[00:02:49]
My friend your work is done here[00:02:53]
And id say you did it well[00:02:56]
Your voice rings down from heaven[00:02:58]
All the way to the devil himself[00:03:01]
And now you're gods own yodeler[00:03:04]
High above the texas plains[00:03:06]
We miss you here in austin[00:03:09]
With love we speak you name[00:03:12]
