Hank Williams Performs "McCain-Palin Tradition" Song, Mentions "Radical Friends" (VIDEO)

Country singer Hank Williams, Jr joined the McCain-Palin campaign in in Virginia on Monday. Appearing at a rally Williams sang a version of his one-time hit song "Family Tradition" called "McCain-Palin Tradition," with all new lyrics. In the song he now sings of the liberal media, hunting and radical friends. The McCain could use a good song, as they've been told to stop using songs by Heart, Jackson Browne, Van Halen, the Foo Fighters, so far.

Watch the performance or scroll down for the lyrics:

New lyrics:

The left wing liberal media have always been a real close knit family
But most of the American people dont believe em anyway you see
Stop and think it over
Before you make your decision
If they smell something wrong, they're gonna come down strong
You know McCain-Palin tradition
John and Sarah tell you just what they think. They're not gonna blink. And they don't have radical friends to whom their careers are linked
John is his own man
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
They're gonna be just fine
Were headed for good times
You know McCain-Palin Tradition
This old unions got problems
That is plain to see
The democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Like 1-2-3
The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans
Bill Clinton said "you got to!"
Now they wanna bail out
what I'm talking about
Is a democrat liberal hoodoo!
To me and you
John and Sarah tell you just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
They're gonna fix this country, cuz they're just like you and ol Hank
I am very proud
Of our country's name
But no society is perfect
And we have had our stains
If I'm down at the coffee shop
Somebody wants to start do give our flag friction
I say please move on, were standing strong
Thats an Old John McCain tradition
John and Sarah tell you just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
They're gonna fix this country, cuz they're just like you and ol Hank
If I'm down at the coffee shop
Somebody wants to start do give our flag friction
I say please move on, were standing strong
Thats an Old Sarah Palin tradition
Some are bound to tell you
I'm preaching to the choir
And that is very true, and we are going even higher
Like a Mama bear in Idaho
She'll protect your family's condition
If you mess with her cubs, shes gonna take off the gloves, thats an American female tradition
Ehi tell me Sarah why do you hunt
John why do you fish
How can you be so smart and savvy
such a hey good-looking dish
Yes John is his own man
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
Were gonna see the light, they're gonna get it right, its a McCain-Palin tradition

McCain/Palin are Reich Wingers
Who suck up to out of touch singers.

They want to make the rich richer and screw you & me.
McCain top dog Davis kept taken money from Freddie & Fannie
Right up til last month when the government bought em.
The bankers love McCain & his lobby crew
Bankers despises Government Regulation - McCain does too.
Sen. Gramm is McCain's Econ Advisor
Gramms whose responsible for mortgage foreclosureS
Gramm also lobbied for UBS banks
to form overseas safe havens to hide money for the rich.
McCain doesn't care how much we're hurting,
McCain/Gramm, "Americans are just whiners."
McCain hired the Top 7 Shadiest Washington Lobbyist to run his campaign,
Berman, Green, Davis, Black, Timmons, Scheunemann, Pfotenhauer, Donatelli
The first three lobbied FOR Fannie & Freddie
Ah the Top 7 running the McCain store
Timmons lobbied for Saddam & Scheunemann lobbied for the Neocon Iraq War
We know The McCain/Palin Tradition
John's not his own man - lobbyist/Rove own him
As for Palin she & hubby are AIP-Anti-American
You know the McCain/Palin Tradition

That was a sorry song. I wonder if Monday Night Football would still consider Hank to sing. I hope not!

[ralph10]

Now the Republican committee In Sacremento has a billboard that reads "Waterboard Obama". Boy you guys sure have class.

[1differentdrummer]

Are you sure that's Hank's boy?

[Dandywalker]

Disappointed. So was Hank

[james4truth1066]

why can't this loser just go away, he considers making 16 different versions of the same song each year as a career, I hate his theme song for MNF I want to vomit in my mouth evertime I hear it. He was a joke when Chris Farley was still alive 10 years ago and lampooned him on SNL, what has changed since then? NOTHING!

[kyeshinka]

Three passions of conservatives: politics, guns, watching fast cars that no one can afford go around in circles all day. That is their life. I can't imagine being stuck in a conversation with these people.

[ralph10]

They have to be careful at those NASCAR events. They think the last line of the Star Spangled Banner is "Gentlemen,start your engines".

[IHIRB]

Careful on those generalizations.

I secretly enjoy watching NASCAR but I think it's more to see how another sector (primarily Southern) of America lives.

[levibatgirl]

His old man was a legend.

And he is Mr generic without an ounce of his dad's talent.

[shelobo]

For a man who refused to even speak to his OWN sister because she was the child of ONE his fathers girlfriends ,Williams has NO room to speak of FAMILY values,nor tradtions ,birds of feather flock together ....
