[00:00.00] THE BALLAD OF HINKY by Eric Wise
[00:06.00] Hinky was a traveler
[00:11.00] He roamed town t’ town
[00:16.00] A country voice and an old guitar
[00:21.00] Played as the sun went down
[00:26.00] People sang and danced
[00:30.00] Full moon on the rise
[00:35.00] He won them all over
[00:40.00] Before they even realized
[00:48.00] When the crowd went home
[00:52.00] The fun an’ games would begin
[00:56.00] A private session with someone’s daughter
[01:02.00] Teachin’ her ’bout sin
[01:07.00] The father came a lookin’
[01:11.00] As the moon went down
[01:16.00] But Hinky was gone, long gone
[01:21.00] On to the next small town
[01:28.00] One day down the road a ways
[01:33.00] Hinky made a mistake
[01:38.00] Caught there in the morning
[01:42.00] Cause he slept a bit too late
[01:47.00] Brought ‘fore the judge t’ answer his crimes
[01:52.00] Son, now you’ve met your fate
[01:57.00] The gavel crashes down
[02:01.00] Sixteen’s too young in this here state
[02:09.00] Guitar Solo
[02:50.00] Hinky ain’t been seen or heard
[02:54.00] Since that fateful day
[02:59.00] But every father’s daughter
[03:04.00] Is safer that way
[03:23.00] Hinky was a despicable man
[03:31.00]
