I give up, what is bocephus?

Gretchen Wilson's "Red Neck Woman" song, I know the words to every bocephus song....

does it just mean Hank Williams Jr?

Bocephus is Hank Williams Jr., yes.

 

[Juls64]

can you elaborate a little for a simpleton like me. Is that a song of his? The word itself doesn't have a dictionary meaning that I can find.

:06:

That's the nickname his father gave him when he was a young lad. Where Hank the Elder got it, I have no idea...

I heard that song a million times and didn't know what the word was. Looked up the lyrics then guess what,

I didn't know what the word was!
