You wrote Your Cheatin’ Heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
And you moaned the blues for me and for you
Hank Williams you wrote my life.

The cold cold heart and a doubtful mind
I have known a few myself
And the gal that loved me half as much
As she loved somebody else.

You wrote Your Cheatin’ Heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
And you moaned the blues for me and for you
Hank Williams you wrote my life.

— Instrumental —

I’ve heard that blue old whippoorwill too
And the lonesome whistle whine
I know that feelin’ so cold so real
When the blues come around at midnight.

We never met I know and yet
I know you well my friend
And if ever I get to heaven on high
I hope you’ll shake my hand.

You wrote Your Cheatin’ Heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
And you moaned the blues for me and for you
Hank Williams you wrote my life.

Hank Williams you wrote my life…
