You wrote your cheatin' heart about a gal like my first ex-wife
You moaned the blues for me and for you
Think, Williams, you wrote my life
And a cold, cold heart and a doubtful mind
And I've known a few myself
And a gal that loved you half as much
As she loved somebody else
You wrote your cheatin' heart about a gal like my first ex-wife
You moaned the blues for me and for you
Think, Williams, you wrote my life
Oh, listen to this great band
And I've heard that blue
Oh, Whippoorwill too
And I've heard that 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
And 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
You moaned the blues for me and for you
Think, Williams, you wrote my life
Think, Williams, you wrote my life
And I've known a few myself
And a gal that loved you half as much as I do
Think, Williams, you wrote my life


And I've heard that blue

We never met
You wrote your cheatin' heart about a gal like my first ex-wife
And I've heard that blue

You wrote your cheatin' heart about a gal like my first ex-wife
