The Night Hank Williams Came To Town - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)/Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)
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 did they get Miss Audrey in that gown
On the night Hank Williams came to town
Mavis had her picture made with Hank outside by 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 profound
On the night Hank Williams came to town
