    Lyrics »

Every mornin’ ole Tee Tot come ‘round
Settin’ up his show shine box in town
And he’d sing “Good Mornin’ Montgomery”
He’d sing “Good Mornin’ Montgomery”
He’d sing “Good Mornin’ Montgomery, Alabam”

I’m so glad, don’t be sad
There’s no way you could feel bad
When this dear man with a tin pan
Started to sing the blues!

Met this white boy little Hiram (Hank)
Took him in right under his wing
And he’d say, Tee Tot make it ring
And he’d say, Tee Tot make it ring
And he would laugh and he would sing

Could you please “Show me”
“Show me”
“Show me, show me”
If I could play just like you
Why I’d give anything

Well he learned to play like the old man said he would
Little Hiram’s got his name in Hollywood
I wish that Tee Tot could have stayed around
Then maybe little Hiram would not have drowned
In all those things that does a boy
That wants to sing no good

Little Hiram’s music’s had a worldwide touch
And we all owe Mr. Rufus Payne so much
We got peanuts, fresh peanuts
Put your money in the tin cup
I can see them now with a big smile
Splittin’ the day’s work up

Yes, Mr. Payne and Hiram Hank loved each other so much

Comments(Possibly Shreveport) Hank Williams Jr.: Now, Mr. Rufus Payne, better known as “Tee Tot”, has become one of the most important men in the music business. He never made a record. He never appeared on TV, and he never had his picture taken for us to see. But he changed the entire world of music when he taught my father, as a boy of thirteen, to play guitar and introduced him to the Blues. Daddy said, in so many words, “My musical education was learned at the school of Tee Tot”. This song was inside of me for a long time, and I’m glad it finally came out. I’m most proud of my tribute to Tee Tot.

Tee Tot song
Review written by Bill Stevenson, July 10th, 2011

I enjoyed the Tee Tot song very much. It told a story, paid homage and gave recognition to a talented man. When I first bought this album many years ago, that was one of my favorite songs from Mr. Williams and it still is today. Don't know if he'll read this but here's a hearty "howdy" Mr. Williams, I appreciate your work!
