Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you

Artist- Hank Williams Jr.
Song of the day- Your Cheatin' Heart

I have always been a fan of this song but tonight while I was two steppin' with a drunk Irish dance teacher while his ex-girlfriend sang this from the stage gave the song, what I guess you could call, more depth and entertainment. I'm not quite sure how country music can so easily turn heartache into entertainment but I quite appreciate it. That and its hospitality. And its two stepping. And while we're at it its slide guitar and half button down shirts. So to all this and more, here's to my love of all things country.



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...

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...
