The Ghost of Hank Williams Songtext
von David Allan Coe

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
