Hank Williams was born on 17 September, 1923, in Mount Olive, Alabama. At just 14 years of age he had his own 15-minute radio show in Montgomery and soon left school to pursue a musical career. His big break came with his recording of "Move It On Over" in 1947. He went on to write and record such hits as "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Hey, Good Looking" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." His health deteriorated, however, thanks to excessive use of alcohol and pain-killers (he suffered from a bad back). Hank Williams died suddenly in the back of his car on January 1st, 1953, just 29 years old.
His original version of "Your Cheatin' Heart" was released shortly after his death, having been recorded on 23 September, 1952.
Elvis was not pleased with his own recording of the number and it was not released for seven years.


Your Cheatin'Heart
performed by: 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 falling 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,
will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away.

The time will come,
when you'll be blue,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling 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...




Your Cheatin'Heart

Your cheatin' hear-eart,
will make you weep
You'll cry and cry-y (cry-ooh, cry-ooh)
And try to sleep (cry-cry-ooh)

Relief wo-on't co-ome (cry-ooh, cry-ooh)
The whole night through (cry-ooh, cry-ooh)
Your cheatin' heart (cry-cry-ooh)
Wi-ill tell on you (will te-ell o-on you)

When the tears a-come a-dow-own (tears come fallin' down)
Like fa-allin' rain (tears come fallin' down)
You'll toss around,
and call my name

You're gonna walk that floor-oor (walk-walk-walk)
The way that I do (walk-walk-walk-walk)
Your cheatin' hear-eart,
wi-ill tell on you (will te-ell o-on you)

Yeah
(Cheatin' - cheatin' heart
Cheatin' - cheatin' heart
Your cheatin' heart will
Will te-ell o-on you)

Whe-en tear-ears come a-dow-own (tears come fallin' down)
Like falling rain (tears come fallin' down)
You'll toss around,
and call my name (you'll even call my name)

Your gonna walk that floor-oor (walk-walk-walk)
Just the way that I do (walk-walk-walk-walk)
Your cheating heart,
will tell on you (will te-ell o-on you)

Your cheatin' heart,
will tell on you (will te-ell o-on you)
Your cheatin' heart,
will tell on you (will te-ell o-on you)
