  THE NIGHT HANK WILLIAMS CAME TO TOWN

  Recorded by Johnny Cash

  

  [E] Harry Truman was our presi-[A] dent

  A [B7] coke an burger cost you thirty [E] cents

  I was still in love with Mavis [A] Brown

  [E] On the night Hank [B7] Williams came to [E] town.

  

  [E] "I Love Lucy" debuted on Tee [A] Vee

  That was [B7] one big event we didn't [E] see

  'Cause no one stayed at home for miles a-[A] round

  It [E] was the night Hank [B7] Williams came to [E] town.

  

  [A] Mama ironed my shirt and daddy [E] let me take the truck

  I [F#] drove on out to Grapevine and [B7] picked old Mavis up

  We [E] hit that county line for one quick [A] round

  [E] On the night HANK [B7] WILLIAMS came to [E] town.

   

  [E] A thousand people sweltered in the [A] gym

  Then I [B7] heard someone whisper; "Hey, that's [E] him"

  That's when the crowd let out this deafening [A] sound

  It [E] was the night Hank [B7] Williams came to [E] town.

  

  CHANGE TO G:

  [G] On and on he sang into the [C] night

  'Jamba-[D7] laya', 'Cheatin' heart', 'I saw the [G] light'

  How'd they get Miss Audrey in that [C] gown

  [G] On the night Hank [D7] Williams came to [C] town.

  

  [C] Mavis had her picture made with [G] Hank outside his car

  She [A] said; "He sure is humble for a [D7] Grand Ole Opry Star."

  Ma-[G] vis said: "Why don't we hang a-[C] round

  It ain't [G] often that Hank [D7] Williams comes to [G] town."

  

  While [C] Hank signed his autograph on [G] (*Beaulah Rice's) fan

  Ma-[A] vis got acquainted with the [D7] Driftin' Cowboys Band

  The [G] effect on all our lives was quite pro-[C] ound ...[P]

  On the night Hank Williams came to town.

  

  Radio announcer's voice in the background:

  Cowboys will be at the high school gym in person for one show only
