Charley Pride - Mister Joe Henry’s Happy Hand-Clappin’ lyrics
[Charley Pride - Mister Joe Henry’s Happy Hand-Clappin’ lyrics]
Now Mister Joe Henry was a happy little man
Who became a legend in our town
Most everybody owes a lot of the smiles
To the happy sounds that he puts down
He had one guitar and four other guys
Who kept time with their clappin’ hands
We call him Mister Joe
Henry’s happy hand clappin’
Open air rhythm band
Oh you can find ‘em every evening
When the sun went down
At the corner of fourth and main
It didn’t take much of
That hand clappin’ rhythm
To start the sun a-shinning again
I can’t help but feel this part of the world
Is supposed to do the good Lord’s plan
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s
Happy hand clappin’ open air rhythm band
We’d all gather around and call out the names
Of our favorite songs of the day
But it didn’t much matter to mister Joe Henry
They all came out the same ol’ way
Even melancholy baby had to put on a smile
In the presence of this happy man
Yes that was mister Joe
Henry’s happy hand clappin’
Open air rhythm band
Oh you can find ‘em every evening
When the sun went down
At the corner of fourth and main
It didn’t take much of
That hand clappin’ rhythm
To start the sun a-shinning again
I can’t help but feel this part of the world
Is supposed to do the good Lord’s plan
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s
Happy hand clappin’ open air rhythm band
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s
Happy hand clappin’ open air rhythm band
Who became a legend in our town
Most everybody owes a lot of the smiles
To the happy sounds that he puts down
He had one guitar and four other guys
Who kept time with their clappin’ hands
We call him Mister Joe
Henry’s happy hand clappin’
Open air rhythm band
Oh you can find ‘em every evening
When the sun went down
At the corner of fourth and main
It didn’t take much of
That hand clappin’ rhythm
To start the sun a-shinning again
I can’t help but feel this part of the world
Is supposed to do the good Lord’s plan
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s
Happy hand clappin’ open air rhythm band
We’d all gather around and call out the names
Of our favorite songs of the day
But it didn’t much matter to mister Joe Henry
They all came out the same ol’ way
Even melancholy baby had to put on a smile
In the presence of this happy man
Yes that was mister Joe
Henry’s happy hand clappin’
Open air rhythm band
Oh you can find ‘em every evening
When the sun went down
At the corner of fourth and main
It didn’t take much of
That hand clappin’ rhythm
To start the sun a-shinning again
I can’t help but feel this part of the world
Is supposed to do the good Lord’s plan
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s
Happy hand clappin’ open air rhythm band
