The Night Hank Williams Died
By Jeremy Parsons
6/20/2010
Em
On a lonely two lane highway somewhere outside a town
D C Em
A man full of misery in a bottle he did drown
Em
He lost a spark that had lived he lost the will to fight
D C Em
A legend left a footprint that no one could fill that night
In a Cadillac of baby blue part of music passed away
Headed to the country show that he never gave
When it was announced the world did start to cry
Chorus:
Am Em
You can hear the hurt, yes you can feel the pain
Am B7
In every line of every song that he would play and sing
Em
a man my have his demons but he’s still got good inside
D C Em
we lost the music and the man the night Hank Williams died
For the small time he was with we were left with so much
He made the music what it was with his own special touch
We were left with a blessing the night Hank Williams died
Chorus
So if your down in Alabama go stop by and see
The stone of Hiram Williams put up in 53
Figure out his age it’ll come up 29
So long ago but still we know the night hank Williams died
