Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash - The Night Hank Williams Came to Town 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
Сause 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", "Cheating 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
Drifting Cowboys Band the effect on all our
Lives was quite profound
On the night Hank Williams came to town
