David Allan Coe – The Ghost Of Hank Williams Lyrics
In an Alabama graveyard on a cold December day
A young man with a guitar stares in to space and plays
There’s no one there to listen
There’s no on there but him
And the Ghost of Hank Williams sings
“Your Cheatin Heart” again
Marty Robbins, Pasty Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine
Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty were 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
It was 2 AM in Nashville, the Ryman Stage was bare
There was just a lot of memories from the Opry being there
In the stillness of the morning in a cold December wind
The Ghost of Hank Williams sings
“Your Cheatin Heart” again
Marty Robbins, Pasty Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine
Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty were 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
There’s a DJ in Ohio that recalls that New Years 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 sings
“Your Cheatin Heart” again
Marty Robbins, Pasty Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine
Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty were 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
