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 did they get Miss Audrey in that gown

On the night Hank Williams came to town

Mavis had her picture made with Hank outside by 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 profound

On the night Hank Williams came to town
