The Ghost Of Hank Williams

David Allen Coe

In an Alabama graveyard on a December day

A young man with a guitar stares in to space and plays

no one there to listen No on there but him

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



Chorus

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 and 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

And the Ghost of Hank Williams plays "Your Cheatin Heart" again



Chorus



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

When he had to tell the nation tha his 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



Chorus



In an Alabama graveyard on a December day

A young man with a guitar stares in to space and plays

no one there to listen No on there but him

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