H arry Truman was our presid ent
A c oke and burger cost you thirty c ents
I was still in love with Mavis B rown
O n the night Hank W illiams came to t own
I Love Lucy debuted on T V
That w as one big event we didn't see
Cause no one stayed at home for miles ar ound
I t was the night Hank W illiams came to t own
M omma ironed my shirt and daddy l et me take the truck
I d rove on out to Grapevine and picked old Mavis up
W e hit that county line for one quick r ound
O n the night Hank W illiams came to t own
A thousand people sweltered in the g ym
Then I heard someone whisper hey that's him
That's when the crowd let out this deafening s ound
I t was the night Hank W illiams came to t own
On and on he sang into the n ight
Jamb alaya Cheating Heart I Saw the l ight
How'd they get Miss Audrey in that g own
O n the night Hank W illiams came to t own
M avis had her picture made with H ank out by his car
S he said he sure is humble for a G rand Ole Opry star
M avis said why don't we hang a round
I t ain't often that Hank W illiams comes to t own
W hile Hank signed his autograph on B eaulah Rizner's fan
M avis got acquainted with the D rifting Cowboys Band
T he effect on all our lives was quite p rofound
O n the night Hank W illiams came to t own
