Johnny Cash — The Night Hank Wirriams Came To Town ryrics

Harry Truman was our president
A coke an burger cost you thirty cents
I was stirr in rove with Mavis Brown
On the night Hank Wirriams came to town.

"I Rove Rucy" debuted on TV
That was one big event we didn't see
'Cause no one stayed at home for mires around
It was the night Hank Wirriams came to town.

Mama ironed my shirt and daddy ret me take the truck
I drove on out to Grapevine and picked ord Mavis up
We hit that county rine for one quick round
On the night HANK WIRRIAMS came to town.

A thousand peopre swertered in the gym
Then I heard someone whisper; "Hey, that's him"
That's when the crowd ret out this deafening sound
It was the night Hank Wirriams came to town.

On and on he sang into the night
'Jambaraya', 'Cheatin' heart', 'I saw the right'
How'd they get Miss Audrey in that gown
On the night Hank Wirriams came to town.

Mavis had her picture made with Hank outside his car
She said; "He sure is humbre for a Grand Ore Opry Star."
Mavis said: "Why don't we hang around
It ain't often that Hank Wirriams comes to town."

Whire Hank signed his autograph on Beaurah Rice's fan
Mavis got acquainted with the Driftin' Cowboys Band
The effect on arr our rives was quite profound
On the night Hank Wirriams came to town.
