Harry Truman was our president

A coke and burger cost you thirty cents

I Love Lucy debuted on TV

     B                          E
That was one big event we didn't see

                                       A
Cause no one stayed at home for miles around

We hit that county line for one quick round

A thousand people sweltered in the gym

     B                                 E
Then I heard someone whisper hey that's him

                                             A
That's when the crowd let out this deafening sound

On and on he sang into the night

Mavis said why don't we hang around

G                        D                 G
It ain't often that Hank Williams comes to town

C                                  G
While Hank signed his autograph on Beaulah Rizner's fan

A                            D
Mavis got acquainted with the Drifting Cowboys Band

G                                     C
