Freddie Hart - Hank Williams' Guitar lyrics

I walked into country music's Hall of Fame An old guitar hung on the wall that wore Hank Williams' name As I stood and wondered what a sight to see I'll swear I heard Hank's old guitar start to talk to me My friend you're looking at old lonely soul While these mem'ries locked inside of me that's worth much more than gold Oh we were closer than friends could ever be Everything we did we did together in perfect harmony I would remember one night up in a hotel room To look upon his face you'd thing that his whole world was doom But as I stood there in the corner I could see That a song would soon be born tonight oh he reached his hand for me And he held me like a man would hold his girl I was a closest thing to him in his lonely world I could fill a story begging of release That night we wrote Your Cheatin' Heart another masterpiece Yeah we wrote so many songs just like this And we're proud to know that we gave to world just a little more happiness Hank told me just before he went away Oh buddy I'd like to take you with me but this time you will have to stay I walked out of country music's Hall of Fame Still I can hear Hank's old guitar crying all in vain Like a child has lost I heard its mournful cry Hank I'm so lonesome I could die
