[00:48.12] [00:51.74]Mama ironed my shirt and daddy let me take the truck [00:54.24] [00:56.73]I drove on out to Grapevine and picked old Mavis up [00:58.68] [01:02.86]We hit that county line for one quick round [01:05.92] [01:06.74]On the night HANK WILLIAMS came to town. [01:08.80] [01:12.11]A thousand people sweltered in the gym [01:13.55] [01:16.86]Then I heard someone whisper; "Hey, that's him" [01:19.30] [01:21.36]That's when the crowd let out this deafening sound [01:22.80] [01:26.42]It was the night Hank Williams came to town.

[01:40.55]Mavis said: "Why don't we hang around [01:40.86]It ain't often that Hank Williams comes to town." [01:42.49]While Hank signed his autograph on Beaulah Rice's fan [01:43.23]Mavis got acquainted with the Driftin' Cowboys Band [01:44.48]The effect on all our lives was quite profound [01:45.99]On the night Hank Williams came to town.
