Hank Williams Memorial Album lyrics

(Hank Williams)

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep.

But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you.

When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name.

You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you.

--- Instrumental ---

Your cheatin' heart

(Hank Williams)

The news is out all over town
That you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again.

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow

(Hank Williams)

I tried so hard my dear to show that you’re my every dream.
Yet you’re afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn’t do

(Hank Williams)

Everybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you 'round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you.

Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together we can find a brighter way
In my heart I know that you'll come true
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you.

--- Instrumental ---

All the happiness I've ever known

(Fred Rose - Ed G. Nelson)

Comb your hair and paint and powder
You act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire.

You're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Settin' the woods on fire.

We'll take in all the honky tonks
Tonight we're havin' fun

(Hank Williams)

Say hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?

I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose)

Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "yes" or "no."

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped some day he'd talk

(Curley Williams)

If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down.

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you.
