| | | Artist: | Johnny Cash |
| | Album: | Johnny Cash Is Coming To Town | | Track: | The Night Hank Williams Came To Town | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | Harry Truman was our president
A coke an burger cost you thirty cents
I was still in love
with Mavis Brown
On the night Hank Williams came to town.
"I Love Lucy" debuted on
TV
That was one big event we didn't see
'Cause no one stayed at home for miles
around
It was the night Hank Williams came to town.
Mama ironed my shirt and daddy
let me take the truck
I drove on out to Grapevine and picked old Mavis up
We hit that
county line for one quick round
On the night HANK WILLIAMS came to town.
A thousand
people sweltered in the gym
Then I heard someone whisper; "Hey, that's him"
That's when
the crowd let out this deafening sound
It was the night Hank Williams came to
town.
On and on he sang into the night
'Jambalaya', 'Cheatin' heart', 'I saw the
light'
How'd they get Miss Audrey in that gown
On the night Hank Williams came to
town.
Mavis had her picture made with Hank outside his car
She said; "He sure is
humble for a Grand Ole Opry Star."
Mavis said: "Why don't we hang around
It ain't often
that Hank Williams comes to town."
While Hank signed his autograph on Beaulah Rice's
fan
Mavis got acquainted with the Driftin' Cowboys Band
The effect on all our lives was
quite proound
On the night Hank Williams came to town.
Radio announcer's voice in
the background:
Remember, friends and neighbors, Hank Williams and all the
Drifting
Cowboys will be at the high school gym in person for one show only
