The Night Hank Williams Came To Town

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

this Saturday night. The big 2 hour show starts at 7:30 - tickets are

just a dollar-fifty each; you get your money's worth the first 15 minutes

and the rest is free. That's Saturday night - advance tickets are on sale

now at Renfrow's Drugstore, Do-Nut Heaven and here at the radio station.

Hank Williams - all the Drifting Cowboys, Don Helms, Jerry Rivers (fade)
