Hank Locklin - Happy Birthday To Me

Hank Locklin sings Happy Birthday To Me.

This is a different version than the other one Hank sings here on YouTube, the one with the church organ backing through the song.

This version is guitars and piano, instead.

"Today has been my birthday
And tonight I should be glad
But you weren't here to share it
And inside I hurt so bad

I didn't want your present
Just your kiss and company
And your lips to softly whisper
Happy Birthday to me

But I came home all by myself
And lit a candle
Made a wish for you
And love that used to be

I unwrapped the tiny package
That I bought myself
Then I sang
Happy Birthday to me

I thought for sure you'd send me
At least a birthday card
But the postman didn't even stop
When he passed by my yard

You could have telephoned
And eased a lot of misery
Instead I called myself and said
Happy Birthday to me

Then I stayed home all by myself
And lit the candles
Made a wish for you
And love that used to be

I unwrapped the tiny package
That I bought myself
And I sang
Happy Birthday to me

And I sang
Happy Birthday to me"

That's weird, it's a sad song to sing on someone's birthday.

This is really the most both funny AND sad lyric in one song.......

I like the other version more, but this one's also very nice.....

Sounds much more like a country-song.....
