Hank Williams

I BLOTTED YOUR HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS


WHEN I ENTERED THAT SCHOOL ROOM THAT MORNIN' IN MAY,
I NOTICED YOU OVER THE WAY,
AND THEN WITH YOUR PEN DEAR YOU PAINFULLY WROTE,
YOU BLOTTED MY HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS.

FIRST CHORUS

I BLOTTED YOUR HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS,
I'M SORRY I CAUSED YOU THIS PAIN,
I'LL ASK GOD TO FORGIVE ME AND TO GUIDE ME ALWAYS,
FOR I BLOTTED YOUR HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS.


THE TEACHER WAS WATCHIN' WITH A WONDERING EYE,
SHE NOTICED YOUR ANGUISH AND PAIN,
SHE KNEW IT WOULD HURT YOU TO HAVE SYMPATHY,
WITH A HEART THAT WAS BREAKIN' IN PAIN.

REPEAT FIRST CHORUS


I HAVE ALL THE NOTES THAT YOU WROTE TO ME,
I'VE FOLDED AND I KEPT THEM WITH CARE,
THEY'RE ALL PUT AWAY TO BE TOUCHED NO MORE,
TO SERVED AS A MEMORY SO DEAR.

WHEN I PASSED BY YOUR COFFIN TO TAKE MY LAST LOOK,
I PLACED MY LAST KISS ON YOUR BROW,
I KNOW YOU'RE IN HEAVEN WITH FRIENDS THAT ARE DEAR,
AND I KNOW THAT I'LL MEET YOU UP THERE.

SECOND CHORUS

FOR I BLOTTED YOUR HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS,
I'M SORRY I CAUSED YOU THIS PAIN,
BUT I'LL ASK GOD TO FORGIVE ME AND TO GUIDE ME ALWAYS,
FOR I BLOTTED YOUR HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS.
