The Ghost of Hank Williams

In an Alabama graveyard on a December day

A young man with a guitar stares into space and plays

No one there to listen, no one there but him

And the Ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin' Heart" again

Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine

Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty was my friends

It's so lonesome here tonight, but someday I'll see the light

When the ghost of Hank Williams plays "Your Cheatin' Heart" again

It was 2 am in Nashville and the Ryman Stage was bare

There was just a lot of memories from the opery being there

In the stillness of the morning on a cold December wind

The Ghost of Hank Williams plays "Your Cheatin' Heart" again

Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine

Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty was my friends

It's so lonesome here tonight, but someday I'll see the light

When the ghost of Hank Williams plays "Your Cheatin' Heart" again

There's a DJ in Ohio that recalls that New Year's Day

When he had to tell the nation that a singer passed away

Sometimes when it's late at night he'll let some records spin

And the ghost of Hank Williams will sing "Your Cheatin' Heart" again

Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine

Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty was my friends

It's so lonesome here tonight, but someday I'll see the light

When the ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin' Heart" again

In an Alabama graveyard on a hot September day

A young man with a guitar stares into space and plays

There's no one there to listen, there's no one there but him

And the ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin' Heart" again
