Capo on the third fret

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

Add. Lyrics

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

First Verse

written by Hank Williams (I think)
Corrections welcome.

CHORUS:
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seed of distrust it will sow
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw

(SPOKEN)
Why a neighbor lady was passin’ my garden one time
And she stopped and I knew right away
That gossip not flowers she had on her mind
And this is what I heard her say
She said, you know that girl down the street, David Allan?
She should be run from our ‘midst
Why, she drinks and she talks quite a lot
Well she knows not to speak to my child or to me
And my neighbor then smiled, and I thought

CHORUS

(SPOKEN)
Well a car speeding by and the screaming of brakes
A screamin’ that made my blood chill
And my neighbor’s one child had been pulled from the path
And saved by a girl that was lyin’ still
And the child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out, she said
Oh who was that brave girl so sweet
And I covered the crushed broken body and said,
Why that was that bad girl that lived down the street

CHORUS
